Lib Dems to boycott committee
The Liberal Democrats will boycott a committee being set up by Speaker Michael Martin to look into last week's police raid at the House of Commons.
Both the Lib Dems and Conservatives are angry over plans to ensure that Labour dominates a seven-member panel looking into police action against a Tory MP.
The party's leader Nick Clegg said a "neutered" committee of this kind would not serve the public interest.
