Welcome to The Independent’s liveblog of Prime Minister’s Questions, in a week where British politics has been dominated by allegations of sexual harassment and abuse.
Theresa May has faced pressure to ask her de-facto deputy Damian Green to stand aside during an investigation into claims he made inappropriate advances towards a Tory activist - an allegation he denies.
Mr Green has become the most senior figure caught up in the swirl of allegations in Westminster while claims against some 40 Tory MPs were listed in a dossier compiled by Tory MPs.
Meanwhile, Labour has launched an independent probe into claims that activist Bex Bailey was discouraged by a party official from reporting an alleged rape at a Labour event in 2011 on the grounds it might damage her political career.
