Mitchell returns after police row

Embattled Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell returned to the Commons frontline for the first time since his foul-mouthed row with Downing Street police and was soon reminded of his troubles by Labour MPs.

Mr Mitchell, who sat in his usual place on the end of the Government front bench, was flanked by Policing and Justice Minister Damian Green.

He showed no expression as senior Labour MP Stephen Timms referred to the Government's "poor relationship" with the Metropolitan Police.
