Passport campaign wholly legitimate - Clegg

Responding to the Home Office criticism of the Liberal Democrats campaign to encourage people to reapply for passports early, to stop their details being added to the Identity Cards database, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Nick Clegg MP said: "It is entirely inappropriate for a department of state to question an entirely legitimate form of protest, against a scheme which many people do not support. As recommended by Charles Clarke, we are encouraging people to apply for passports early, to avoid having important personal details added to a database, which may well not be secure. We are recommending that citizens reapply as soon as possible, as the Government refuses to give us a firm start date for their authoritarian scheme."

Tories save Labour's Education Bill which was a pitiful wasted opportunity

Commenting on Wednesday's vote on the Education and Inspections Bill, Sir Menzies Campbell, leader of the Liberal Democrats said: "Once again, the Liberal Democrats have proved to be the real opposition to this government. David Cameron's Tories have leaped to the aid of a faltering Prime Minister. Reform and improvement of our education system are vital. But these proposals are rushed, poorly thought out and ill judged. The Prime Minister is in a hurry to create a legacy but risks leaving our public services in disarray.
