PMQs Disgrace

The Campaign for Better Politics was one of the first groups to call for an inquiry into the death of Baby P following the apparent failings at Haringey Council.
And today David Cameron at PMQs used his questions rightly not to focus on the economy but on this tragic case to ensure it never happens again.
But the result was a slanging match with Gordon Brown shamefully accusing Mr Cameron of playing party politics.
It resulted in heckling from Labour MPs with even speaker Michael Martin in a moment of wisdom intervening to get a grip on proceedings.
We do not focus only on wastes of tax money but also ethics and proper conduct.
This was not proper especially with the death of a baby boy involved.
Mr Brown must apologise at once.
