Trident, NHS reforms and the AV Bill were among the questions asked by backbench MPs at prime minister's questions today.
Roger Williams (Lib Dem, Brecon and Radnorshire)commended the reputation of UK universities. He called for assurances that government proposals would not deter foreign students.
In response, Cameron said foreign students are vital to UK universities.
Nick de Bois (Con, Enfield North) noted that a constituent was severely injured in Afghanistan. With the number injured increasing by 40 per cent he called for extra resources for Hedley Court.
Cameron agreed and welcomed support for UK soldiers.
Gisela Stuart (Lab, Edgbaston) asked what progress the government has made on its pledge to recruit 3,000 additional midwives.
Cameron said the government has increased the NHS budget.
Christopher Chope (Con, Christchurch) asked about the referendum on the Westminster electoral system and whether it should only be binding if 40 per cent of the electorate participates.
The prime minister said he is primarily concerned about boosting the "no vote" against electoral change.
Jessica Morden (Lab, Newport East) asked about the closure of Newport post office.
Cameron highlighted the work being done to ensure jobs can be saved.
Dr Julian Lewis (Con, New Forest East)asked what assessment the prime minister has made of the effect of coalition politics on the future of the UK's nuclear deterrent.
He suggested that plans to replace Trident are being threatened by the Lib Dems' call for a delay in key discussions until after 2015.
Lewis, a member of the intelligence and security committee, said: "Will you make a pledge to this House and the country that in the event of another hung parliament, if the Liberal Democrats demand as a price for the coalition the scrapping of Trident, you will refuse to pay that price?"
In response, Cameron said he is committed to replacing Trident and that it is going ahead.
John Woodcock (Lab, Barrow and Furness) asked how voters can trust Cameron on Trident when he broke his promise on the educational maintenance allowance.
The prime minister said support for Trident is the policy of his party.
James Clappison (Con, Hertsmere)asked the prime minister about the deportation of foreign terrorist suspects after comments made by Lord Carlile that the UK had become a "safe haven" for terrorist".
The prime minister said the UK had "deportation with assurance agreements" with Algeria, Jordan, Ethiopia, Libya and the Lebanon.
"I want us to negotiate many, many more," he added. "In the end we must do whatever is necessary to keep this country safe."
David Simpson (DUP, Upper Bann) asked about security in Northern Ireland.
David Nuttall (Con, Bury North)asked about plans to close a hospital in his constituency.
Cameron said under the new, GP-led NHS system, hospitals will "thrive" when people use them.
David Cairns (Lab, Inverclyde) joked about various government rebranding exercises and accuses Cameron of being soft on crime.
The prime minister said New Labour is being rebranded as Old Labour. He said the party are in "total denial" about the need to reduce the deficit.
Richard Graham (Con, Gloucester)asked about funding for sports.
Angela Smith (Lab, Penistone and Stocksbridge)said government plans to sell forests shows that Cameron knows "the price of everything and the value of nothing".
The prime minister said the government is having a consultation. Under Labour, he said forests were sold with no guarantees of access.
"There are many forests like the New Forest, not owned by the Forestry Commission, which have much better access and no parking charges and very good records on habitat," he said.
"So I think while we have a consultation, we should bust some of the myths that have been put around about this idea."
John Baron (Con, Basildon and Billericay)called for pressure to be placed on the US to talk with the Taliban.
The prime minister said the Taliban are going to be "heavily defeated" on the battlefield. That will make a political solution more likely.
Jim Cunningham (Lab, Coventry South)accused the government of cutting the allowances and pensions of armed forces personnel.
Cameron said he did not agree with this and that he is determined to give serving personnel a "good deal" on both pay and welfare".
Ian Swales (Lib Dem, Redcar) asked about knife crime.
Cameron admitted the problem exists, and said the government is doing something about it.
Valerie Vaz (Lab, Walsall South)asked about reforms to the NHS.
The prime minister quoted shadow health secretary John Healey who said nobody knows more about the NHS than Andrew Lansley.
Ian Austin (Lab, Dudley North) asked the prime minister why he was in favour of less regulation for the banks before the election.
In response, Cameron attacks Labour's new shadow chancellor Ed Balls who was city minister at the time of the bank near collapse.
Priti Patel (Con, Witham) asked if the prime minister supports giving prisoners the right to vote.
Cameron said Patel knows that he has "every sympathy" with the view she puts forward.
