During Prime Minister’s Question session, Deputy Labour Leader Harriet Harman has questioned about Prime minister, David Cameron’s absence from PMQs who asked why Mr. Cameron had only attended and answered questions once from MPs in the last eight weeks.

Harriet Harman has argued regarding Mr. Cameron’s handling the questions in the White House about Britain’s future in Europe when he should be present in Westminster and said to Nick Clegg, who was standing in for Mr. Cameron: “This is meant to be prime minister’s questions”.

But the Deputy Prime minister and the Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg has responded in a light way by turning his guns on the absent Ed Miliband, declaring that it was the Labour leader “who should be relieved that there isn’t Prime Minister’s Questions”.

Ms. Harman then inquired about the latest “excuse” about Wednesday’s unemployment figures that were indicative of more people being out of work.

Mr. Clegg has however said that full-time employment had increased in the last quarter and the number of women employed was at the highest level it had ever been. He has also criticized Labour’s record on the economy, and spoke of a “prawn cocktail charm offensive” to win support from the City in the 1990s.

Both of them afterwards exchanged figures on the highest tax rate under Labour and the coalition governments, and which had taxed the rich more.

A Conservative MP, while waving a Liberal Democrat leaflet that featured Nick Clegg saying it was time for a “real referendum on Europe” from around the time of the Lisbon Treaty.

Then Edward Leigh has asked Mr. Clegg at PMQs if the man on the poster was an “imposter or just a hypocrite”.

Mr. Clegg has confirmed of the person being him and maintained that his position had not changed. He has told if the EU rules get changed, then a referendum would definitely happen.
