In the House of Commons for Prime Minister's Questions today...

• Labour MP for Nottingham East, Chris Leslie, and Tory MP for Erewash, Maggie Throup spoke on voter registration
• Nottingham North's Labour MP, Alex Norris, asked for police to have resources to tackle cyber security
• Sherwood's Conservative MP, Mark Spencer, had a good bellow and point at the Labour benches
• Bolsover's Labour MP, Dennis Skinner, was up and down in a sprightly manner eager to get in
• Meanwhile Conserrvative MP for Broxtowe, Anna Soubry, came to the defence of tuition fees, saying more working class and poor young people are going to university

I'm not sure they were expecting an exit poll like that...

The Nottingham returning officer reports around 4,000 new voters registered in each of the city's three seats.

Counting for the three Nottingham seats is taking place here at Harvey Haddon Sports Village tonight.

There's been a much better reaction from Labour to the exit poll here... Conservative supporters look (mildly) concerned.

The Conservatives haven't had an MP in Nottingham since Margaret Thatcher was prime minister.

UKIP has confirmed they will not be putting candidates forward for seats in Mid Derbyshire, Derbyshire Dales, Erewash, Amber Valley, South Derbyshire and High Peak. 

Derby North is the only Derbyshire seat they will contest. Their candidate is Bill Piper.

In Ashfield, Ray Young will stand for the party, while there will be no UKIP candidate for Bassetlaw.

Other Nottinghamshire UKIP candidates we are now aware of include Fran Loi, who will stand in Broxtowe, Lee Waters - who will compete for the Gedling seat - Stephen Crosby, who will stand in Nottingham North, Robert Hall-Palmer, who will stand in Nottingham East, and David Hollis - who will fight for the Nottingham South seat.

In Newark, Xandra Arundel will stand for the party, while Matthew Faithfull and Stuart Bestwick will stand in Rushcliffe and Sherwood respectively.

The Conservative Party has announced more candidates for a number of seats across the East Midlands ahead of the general election.

Simon Murray will be the party's Nottingham East candidate, while Jack Tinley will stand in Nottingham North. 

Mr Murray will compete for the seat alongside Labour's Chris Leslie and Barry Holliday from the Liberal Democrats, while Mr Tinley will stand against Tad Jones, also from the Liberal Democrats, and Labour's Alex Norris.

The party's candidate for Bolsover will be Helen Harrison, whose opponents include UKIP's Philip Rose and Labour's Dennis Skinner, who has held the seat since 1970. 

Meanwhile, Spencer Pitfield will stand in the Chesterfield seat currently held by Labour's Toby Perkins, and Evonne Williams will stand in Derby South against the likes of Labour's Margaret Beckett and Joe Naitta from the Liberal Democrats.

In the Nottingham East constituency, Labour's Chris Leslie holds a majority of 11,894. Barry Holliday, of the Liberal Democrats, will be one candidate vying for the seat. 

Another Liberal Democrat, Tad Jones, has confirmed he will stand for the Nottingham North constituency. One of his rivals will be Labour's Alex Norris, who recently replaced Graham Allen. 

In Nottingham South, Liberal Democrat Tony Sutton and UKIP's David Hollas will compete for the seat. Labour's Lilian Greenwood and Tory Jane Hunt will also stand.

Conservative Robert Jenrick (below) will look to hold on to his 18,474 majority against Liberal Democrat David Watts and Labour's Chantal Lee.

In Rushcliffe, Labour's David Mellen is standing again against Ken Clarke. He also stood in 2015. Joining the pair will be Liberal Democrat Jayne Phoenix. 

Finally, in Sherwood, Becky Thomas - for the Liberal Democrats - and Labour's Mike Pringle have been confirmed as candidates for the seat alongside Tory Mark Spencer. 

Labour has chosen Alex Norris (pictured) to stand for them in Nottingham North at June's general election.

Mr Norris replaces Graham Allen, who is stepping down as MP after more than 30 years due to ill health. 

Elsewhere, Jane Hunt has been chosen as the Conservative candidate for the Nottingham South constituency.
