Liberal Democrats set out priorities for G8 Summit

The Liberal Democrats have launched their "G8 Communiqué: Priorities for Action", warning the leaders of the world's eight richest nations against limiting the Gleneagles Summit to "excuses for inaction and carefully honed presentations of warm words and sympathy".

The comments reflect concerns that the government has set its G8 presidency ambitions too high, at the risk of letting down lobby groups.
