The Sunday Times reports that Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron has been deployed by Downing Street to quell a potential rebellion by some Conservative MPs over the legislation.

The Mail on Sunday's lead story is a judge's ruling that the BBC was "inconsistent, erroneous and unreliable" in not releasing thousands of emails relating to Martin Bashir's interview with Princess Diana.
