The main points from prime minister's questions in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 June, from 1200 BST:
Prime Minister Tony Blair began his third last prime minister's question time by paying tribute to members of British armed forces and Luton police officer Jon Henry who have been died in the past week.
Mr Blair hailed what he called the forthcoming "effective end to waiting in the health service".
Conservative leader David Cameron asked how Tony Blair could be surprised there was cynicism about him given the way the issue of a Sarah's law had been floated. He said Mr Blair was being "disgraceful" on the issue again today. The tabloid headlines were about plans for chemical castration, but the home secretary's radio interview revealed it was just about giving offenders "prozac pills", he said.
He added that initiatives that are never going to happen are endlessly spun, but real measures, such as the information sharing measures recommended after the Soham murders are not put in place.
Tony Blair rejected the Conservative leaders' points. He said it was sensible to take measures a step at a time saying new laws allowing parents to find out if people in close contact with their children are sex offenders were "a sensible, worthwhile step forward".
He highlighted the measures taken to toughen laws covering such crimes - and said Mr Cameron had voted against them.
