Cameron accepts there may be a case for an early election
Nick Clegg, the former Lib Dem leader, pays tribute to Cameron’s civility, good humour and his ability to see thing from other people’s point of view. Does Cameron agree that it is wrong that only members of the Conservative party should choose the next prime minister? Does he agree there should be an early general election?
Cameron says all parties have their rules for choosing leaders. And he says he and Clegg agreed a Fixed-term Parliaments Act. It will be for the new prime minister to decide whether or not to have an early election.
- Cameron accepts there may be a case for an early election. He said it would be for the new prime minister to decide. But, despite passing a Fixed-term Parliaments Act in the last parliament, he declined an opportunity to say an early election would be a bad idea.
UPDATE: This is from Huffington Post’s Owen Bennett.
Harriet Harman, the former Labour deputy leader, says the country will pay a bitter price for last week’s vote. The Brexit leaders have created an atmosphere where some people think it is open season on foreigners. Does Cameron agree that the government is to blame for problems with public services, not foreigners.
Cameron thanks Harman for appearing on cross-party platforms during the campaign. He says all MPs agree on the need to oppose intolerance.
Responding to the Lib Dem leader Tim Farron, Cameron says ensuring the UK retains access to the single market will be one of the biggest challenges for the renegotiation.
Cameron suggests UK should stay in the single market
Angus Robertson, the SNP leader in Westminster, says that Scotland is part of Europe and that it will do everything it can to stay part of Europe. That could include having another independence referendum, he says.
He asks if there are any plans to raise interest rates.
And he says the government should not introduce further austerity measures.
Cameron says he wants the best deal for the UK, including Scotland.
Interest rates are a matter for the Bank of England, he says. And future budgets will be a matter for the new government.
But he says Scotland benefits from being in two single markets. It should try to remain in both, he says.

(During the campaign Vote Leave said explicitly that they did not think the UK should remain in the single market.)
Cameron says it is up to the new government to decide whether to join the EEA
Back in the Commons Kenneth Clarke, the Conservative former chancellor, asks Cameron if he agrees that, when MPs vote on all the legislation Brexit requires, they should follow their judgment, not be guided by a plebiscite. He also asks Cameron if he supports joining the European Economic Area. The EEA suits countries like Norway and Iceland where politicians want to be in the EU, but they cannot persuade the public, Clarke says.
Cameron says he agrees that parliament is sovereign, but he says MPs must respect the result of the referendum.
He says it will be up to the new government to decide whether to join the EEA.

Jeremy Corbyn plans to address a rally of grassroots supporters at the gates of parliament tonight after facing down his critics within the Parliamentary Labour party.
Labour’s leader will at first attend a crucial meeting of MPs where he is expected to face calls for his resignation including former members of his shadow cabinet.
But after calling for party unity, he plans to address a Momentum rally on Parliament Square, 20 yards from the parliamentary estate, sources said.
He may well be flanked at the rally by up to 20 MPs, who among those who remain loyal to Labour’s leader.
The address will offer a stark reminder to MPs that Corbyn’s support remains outside the Parliamentary party which has always been hostile towards him.
A source close to his office confirmed that he would address the rally following the PLP meeting.
Cameron is replying to Corbyn.
He says it is not right to fight the campaign again. All he knows, he says, is that he put everything into it.
He agrees with Corbyn about the importance of fighting intolerance.
He says the government remains committed to sound public finances.
In future, it will be up to the new government to decide who to react to economic circumstances.
Corbyn ends on a personal note.
He says he has many disagreements with Cameron. But Cameron delivered equal marriage, against the wishes of many of his MPs. He praises Cameron for his response to Bloody Sunday, and for his response to the murder of Jo Cox.
Corbyn urges Cameron to start exit negotiations now
Jeremy Corbyn is responding to Cameron.
He thanks people for voting. But he says the campaign was divisive and negative.
He says Labour accepts the result.
Many people feel disenfranchised and powerless, he says.
Communities have been let down - not by the EU, but by Tory governments.
He says half-truths and untruths during the campaign. Leave campaigners have now been distancing themselves from those, he says. For example, they have retreated from the claim that £350m per week will be available for the NHS>
He says there has been an increase in racist attacks. He urges the government to do all they can to stop them.
He says the country will not thank MPs for indulging in factional fighting.
He says neither wing of the Tory party has an exit plan. So Labour must be fully involved. It wants to protect social and employment rights, he says.
He says we cannot be in a state of paralysis for the next three months.
He says Cameron should begin negotiations when he goes to Brussels.
