(SOUNDBITE) (English) OPPOSITION LABOUR LEADER JEREMY CORBYN, SAYING: “Thank you Mr Speaker. I want to thank all those that took part in an enormous democratic exercise in this country which concluded with me being elected as leader of the Labour Party and leader of the opposition. I think we can be very proud of the numbers of people who engaged and took part in all those debates. I have taken part in many events around the country and have had conversations with many people about what they thought about this place, our parliament, our democracy and our conduct within this place. And many told me that they thought Prime Minister’s Question Time was too theatrical, that parliament was out of touch and too theatrical and they wanted things done differently, but above all they wanted their voice heard in parliament. So I thought my first Prime Minister’s Question Time I would do it in a slightly different way and I am sure the prime minister will absolutely welcome this as he welcomed the idea in 2005, but something seems to have happened to his memory during that period. So, I sent out an email to thousands of people and asked them what questions they would like to put to the prime minister and I received 40,000 replies. Now, there isn’t time to ask 40,000 questions today and our rules limit us to six and so I would like to start with the first one which is about housing. Two and half thousand people emailed me about the housing crisis in this country. I’ll ask one from a woman called Marie, who says: ‘What does the government intend to do about the chronic lack of affordable housing and the extortionate rents charged by some private sector landlords in this country.’ Prime minister? ” (SOUNDBITE) (English) BRITISH PRIME MINSTER DAVID CAMERON, SAYING: “Well first of all Mr Speaker can I congratulate the honourable gentleman on his resounding victory in the Labour leadership election. Can I welcome him to the front bench and to these exchanges. I know we will have many strong disagreements I am sure between us at these exchanges, but where we can work together in the national interest we should do so. And I wish him well in his job. If we are able to change Prime Minister’s Questions and to make it a more genuine exercise in asking questions and answering questions, no-one would be more delighted than me.”
