PMQs - Part 2

Ann Clwyd has reminded the House of the atrocities in Iraq under Hussain - and that many Iraqis are grateful for Blair's actions.

A Lib Dem tried to attack Blair's educational legacy - and gave the outgoing PM the opportunity to state the achievements!

Richard Burden asked about the Middle East peace process - and taking the lessons from Northern Ireland to this issue.

Blair joked about receiving a P45 - the document an employee gets for tax purposes when leaving a job.

When asked about church & state seperation his response was - "I'm really not bothered about that one".

Climate Change. Then the other Winterton, Nicholas (Ann's husband) - got in. A eurosceptic rant - what a surprise. He was called to order by the Speaker (should be a question) - "first of all I like the honourable gentleman..." was Blair's response - who said goodbye to him in a number of European languages!!!

David Blunkett paid his tributes - then Tony Baldry on his local general hospital ... and the lack of a referendum on Europe. Blair sighed - then reminded Baldry of the advances in health; education and the economy in Baldry's constituency.

Angela Smith, another Sheffield MP to ask a question today, was followed by Rev Ian Paisley - who paid a fulsome tribute. He wished Blair the same success in the Middle East as he had had in Northern Ireland.

MPs clapped as he left. - not normally permitted - but appropriate
