The coalition spat over extending internet surveillance intensified last night after Nick Clegg denied he had signed up to the plans.

A spokesman for Mr Clegg said: “The Deputy Prime Minister agreed at the NSC that the government would look at proposals to address the police’s technological gap to deal with serious criminals and terrorists.
“But he also made clear that they could only proceed if they took into account and protected civil liberties. The full details of those proposals have not yet been bought forward.”
