Protesters have attempted to enter the House of Commons chamber during Prime Minister's Questions.

The group, campaigning against the end of the Independent Living Fund, were prevented from getting in by police.

BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said about 20 protesters, many of whom were in wheelchairs, had made their way towards - and attempted to "storm" into - the Commons chamber. The doors were quickly closed on the chanting protesters, he said.

Prime Minister's Questions continued inside the chamber, and Commons officials told broadcasters not to film the protest, which continued outside in Westminster's central lobby.

1. Ending Independent Living Fund. It is interesting that their conservatives are in the same league

as ours. Hit the most vulnerable because they are the least likely to hit back. Good for the protesters.
