The Liberal Democrat conference is taking place in Glasgow
The leadership was defeated over plans to reverse the party's opposition to more airport capacity in the south of England
Energy Secretary Ed Davey, Health minister Norman Lamb and Party President Tim Farron were among the keynote speakers
The group of current and prospective MPs for Cornwall included Stephen Gilbert, Dan Rogerson, Julia Goldsworthy and Simon Rix. They get a round of applause after telling activists they have travelled 500 miles to be at conference.
Cornwall can "seem a thousand miles way from Whitehall" - sitting and prospective Lib Dem MPs from the county make the case for more devolution
MP Duncan Hames tells the conference that the Lib Dems commit to giving fathers more paternity leave "so dads have the chance to be dads". Mr Hames - who recently became a father - says the party will also further expand free childcare so that parents can retain their jobs and skills are not lost from the workplace. There are also proposals for a discount bus pass for under-21s, he tells activists.
David More in Camberwell: My house is right under the flight path to Heathrow. There is constant noise from the jets and the whistling sound when they reverse thrust. Sitting in the garden is ruined on hot summer nights. I have had to double glaze my bedroom window but you can still hear the aircraft. A lot more Londoners who currently enjoy peace and quiet are in for a shock if new runways get built.
Matt Sumption says he is "proud" to be a Lib Dem member in 2014 and says the party should not sell itself as a party that "just moderates the influence" of the Conservatives or Labour in government: "I agreed with Nick in 2010 and I pleased to say that I still agree with him," he tells the hall.
Rob Melia in Reading: It's good to see some of the Liberal Democrats acknowledge that there is a pressing need for airport expansion in the UK. Personally, I think Heathrow is the most logical choice for an extra runway, but expansion of Gatwick or Birmingham International would also be a smart move.
Laurie Anders: Gatwick expansion makes sense. Coming in to land there are little or no properties or people to disturb. Heathrow is the opposite. Go for it, Liberals.
In his first address to a Lib Dem conference, university student Matt Sumption spoke of his battle with depression and urged his party to have a "clear vision" for its future

Stan Calderwood in Teddington: Glad to see some politicians waking up and realising that many voters around Heathrow support expansion. Heathrow is often one of the reasons we are here, supporting jobs and delivering the ability to travel to do business and earn a living efficiently. Please stop listening to a small vocal minority who are damaging the rest of us.
Robin Meltzer, parliamentary candidate for Richmond Park, says Heathrow expansion was only put back on the agenda because of the Conservatives, and accuses the party of standing up for big business "regardless of the facts or consequences". He insists there is existing underused capacity in London and other UK airports. Delegate Joe Otten, however, says allowing future airport expansion would be good for the economy.
Former London Assembly Member Mike Tuffrey rejects the notion that allowing further airport expansion would be good for the regions. He also warns of how a u-turn will go down with voters. "There is a fatal flaw at the heart of [the amendment] - be in no doubt you won't get the jobs you want, we'll get all the aircraft that we don't want and we'll all lose votes right across the country north and south", Mr Tuffrey concludes, to applause.

London Assembly member Caroline Pidgeon opposes the airport expansion amendment. She claims it would "put a stop" to regional growth, arguing that investment would be focused on airports in London and the south-east. However, Lord Goddard counters that there would be no improvement or investment in regional airports if a blanket ban on airport expansion remains in place. He also disagrees with Ms Pidgeon that it would put London Mayor Boris Johnson's proposed Thames Estuary airport back on the map.

Back in the conference hall, former care minister Paul Burstow voices his support for amendment one, which commits the party to a fully-integrated NHS and Social Care budget which will rise by at least inflation. The Sutton and Cheam MP says health and social care are "two sides of the same coin" and warns that under-investment in one undermines the other. He welcomes the party's pledge of a £1bn boost to NHS funding but says the full value will not be felt unless the social care system is properly supported as well.

Former Conservative candidate Nick Hillman, who was beaten by Julian Huppert at the 2010 general election in Cambridge, tells a fringe meeting he has had a £5 bet that Mr Huppert will not stand again because he has "seen which way the wind is blowing" in the university town. Mr Huppert was re-selected to stand in Cambridge two years ago.
