• The emergency data retention and investigatory powers bill has finished is passage through parliament and is set to become law imminently.

• Helen Goodman, a shadow minister, has apologised for posting a tweet saying that the female ministers featured in the Daily Mail were "all puppets who'll change nothing" and that their appearance was the most interesting thing about them. It was "a light-hearted remark", she claimed. (See 2.11pm.)



• Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, has written to Theresa May, the home secretary, demanding to know if it is true that the police do not have the resources to arrest all child abuse suspects. Here's an extract.

Reports that over 10,000 [child abuse] suspects have been identified by this same investigation but that the police lack the capacity to pursue these suspects are extremely concerning. The [National Crime Agency] have clearly briefed the Times that, "such is the extent of the offending that police cannot arrest every suspect - the criminal courts would be unable to cope with the caseload and prison overcrowding could hit breaking point". You will be aware that the deputy director general of the NCA has said; "there are questions here for society, for policy makers... We cannot afford not to look under this stone. But are we going to be able to arrest our way out of this problem? I doubt it..."

In the Commons earlier May said that she could not comment on the 10,000 suspects figure because the NCA's investigation was ongoing.

• Labour has said that the Lib Dems should return the £2.4m donation they received from the fraudster Michael Brown in the light of today's report from the parliamentary ombudsman saying the electoral commission did not investigate it properly. Michael Dugher, the shadow Cabinet Office minister, said:

Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats have justified their inaction against the convicted fraudster Michael Brown by hiding behind a report which has now been totally discredited. For years Clegg has dodged questions on when the Lib Dems will pay back the donations. Clegg has nowhere now to hide. He should do the decent thing and pay back this money straight away.

That's all from me for today.

Thanks for the comments.
