David Cameron and Ed Miliband on Andrew Mitchell 's alleged 'pleb' comments
David Cameron and Ed Miliband have clashed over Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell's future after his row with police at the Downing Street gates.
The prime minister said that what Mr Mitchell "did and said" was wrong, but he had apologised and the officer involved had accepted it.
Mr Miliband said despite the apology Mr Mitchell should not keep his job, suggesting that he was "toast".
The exchanges came during their weekly Prime Minister's Questions clash.
The chief whip is alleged to have called police officers who prevented him from leaving Downing Street via the main gate on his bicycle "plebs".
Mr Mitchell has denied using the words attributed to him, but he has apologised for not showing the officers enough respect.
Mr Cameron said: "What the chief whip did and said was wrong and this is why it is important that he apologised and apologised properly.
"That apology has been accepted by the officer concerned. It's been accepted by the head of the Metropolitan Police.
"That is why this government will get on with the big issue of helping Britain compete and succeed in the world."
The prime minister said the Labour leader was continuing to bring up Mr Mitchell's run-in with the police because he had "no plans" for the "real issues" like cutting the deficit and reforming welfare.
"He wants to discuss these issues because he's got nothing serious to say about the country," Mr Cameron said.
Mr Miliband replied that the abuse of police officers was a "real issue" and he accused cabinet ministers of supporting Mr Mitchell in public, but telling the media something different in private.
"He is completely undermined. His position is untenable. In other words, he is toast and that is the reality," Mr Miliband said.
"Let me tell you the truth about this government: Whilst everybody else loses their jobs, the chief whip keeps his."
