THE TELEGRAPH: David Cameron has broken off his political engagements to rush to France where his father Ian has been taken seriously ill.
The Conservative leader will miss the first Prime Minister's Question Time session following the summer recess, with Nick Clegg filling in.
His father, Ian, 77, suffered a stroke and heart complications while on holiday, Downing Street said.
After talking with doctors at the hospital where his father is being treated Mr Cameron decided to fly to be with him.
The half-hour Commons session today would have marked Mr Cameron return from paternity leave, following the birth of his daughter, Florence. >>> Andrew Porter, Political Editor | Wednesday, September 08, 2010
