'You are the Prime Minister for Benson and Hedgefunds'

Ed Miliband accused David Cameron of being Prime Minister for Benson and Hedgefunds, in the Commons today.

His comments came as they clashed over the Government's decision to postpone its plans to introduce plain packaging for cigarettes.

The Labour leader said there was a "devastating conflict of interest" between David Cameron's election strategist Lynton Crosby representing tobacco companies.

Mr Cameron has refused to be drawn on whether he had a conversation with Mr Crosby before making the controversial decision but said it was made by the Health Secretary and himself.
