Protestors against disability benefit cuts this afternoon staged a noisy demonstration in the heart of Parliament, just yards from where David Cameron was defending his welfare policy.

About 20 protestors, including two wheelchair users, held up banners and chanted ‘No more deaths from benefits cuts’ as Prime Minister’s Questions took place in the Commons.

BBC reporter Norman Smith was told to stop broadcasting from Central Lobby while the protest took place.

The protestors stayed in Central Lobby – the area between the Commons and Lords – for an hour, and Green MP Caroline Lucas joined in with the chanting after arriving to show her support.
