It's time to bid you all farewell, as we wrap up our live text reporting of the Lib Dem party conference in Glasgow. The BBC's coverage does not end here, however. Vicki Young brings you her round-up of events on BBC Two at 23:35 BST - which will be made available on iPlayer and the Live Coverage tab above. And, of course, there will be plenty of reaction and discussion on BBC 5 Live, BBC Radio 4's PM and the World Tonight, and Newsnight on BBC Two. Looking forward, the BBC's coverage of the by-elections in Clacton-on-Sea and Heywood and Middleton will begin after polls close on Thursday, with all the reaction and analysis as the results are declared early on Friday morning.

More on Speaker's aide
In a speech to the conference, Ms McGuinness - a former Lib Dem election candidate - claimed the Conservatives would try to "buy" the 2015 election while Labour would try to "steal" it. Her comments prompted one Conservative MP to write to Mr Bercow, suggesting the remarks undermined the impartiality of his office.
Speaker's aide 'to quit'
The BBC's Laura Kuenssberg is reporting that Justine McGuinness, an aide to Commons Speaker John Bercow, has decided to quit after launching an outspoken attack on the Conservatives, Labour and UKIP at the Lib Dem conference on Tuesday.

'Just brush strokes'
The British Chambers of Commerce says there was a lack of detail in Nick Clegg's speech about the economy, saying he touched on future objectives "only in brushstrokes". While welcoming a commitment to invest in infrastructure, the organisation said it was disappointed that there was no reference to airport capacity after the party voted on Tuesday to maintain its opposition to any new runways in the south east of England.

Labour reaction
Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman believes voters will be "rightly wary" about giving the Lib Dems another chance in government because of the party's record of "broken promises and weakness". Ms Harman characterises Nick Clegg's speech as that of a man "trying desperately to justify the decision he and his party took to back the Tories all the way".
More Lib Dem reaction
Nick Clegg conveyed a "fantastic" message that can be promoted across the country in the run up to the election, says Lib Dem Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael. The Lib Dem believes his leader set out priorities which will "strike a real chord" with both party members and up and down the country.

Business reaction
The Confederation of British Industry welcomes Nick Clegg's focus on mental health and delivering opportunity for all. Its director general John Cridland says: "With the economy back on track, business is ready to play its part to ensure that the benefits of growth are felt by everyone in the UK."
The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith says Nick Clegg made a "pitch for another coalition", and tried to carve out an identity that was "distinct and different" from Labour and the Conservatives. But he says the Lib Dem leader's "core difficulty" is his inability to shake off the mistrust people feel towards him after his U-turn on tuition fees, hence the "defensive" plea in his speech to be judged on policies the Lib Dems have introduced, rather than ones they didn't.
Tim Farron reaction
Nick Clegg's speech was "epoch-making" for mental health, according to Lib Dem party president Tim Farron. He says the reforms will be "possibly the most significant thing to happen in the NHS for at least a generation".

The choice people face
Nick Clegg says the country faces a choice - between Labour who has not learnt its lessons from the past or a Conservative Party that "doesn't share your values" and will "make poor people poorer". The Lib Dems, on the other hand, will give the people of Britain a stronger economy and a fairer society, he adds.
Impatient
Endorsing coalition government, Nick Clegg says it "unlocks the grip on power of the old, establishment parties". He says his time in office has made him more impatient with the establishment. He claims vested interests would relish to eject the Lib Dems from office before our time is up but however tempting it might be, we should never play their game and should stick it in government until the election.

Nick Clegg stresses the Lib Dems' commitment to end the "discrimination" against mental health. While everyone in the party might not agree, he wants it to be "smack bang on the front page" of the party's election manifesto because it is a "great liberal cause", Mr Clegg tells activists, to applause.
'Big changes'
The Lib Dem leader relays his experience of a visit to a group of young mental health service users, who talked about their experiences of the care they received. The conference cheers when he confirms that national waiting times will be introduced for patients with mental health conditions. These are "big, big changes," he says.
Talking about conditions
Nick Clegg says much progress has been around mental health, but that more work is needed. He wants a society where people feel as comfortable discussing their mental conditions like stress or anxiety, as those with a sprained ankle.

Tax pledges
Another commitment from Nick Clegg, this time to raise the personal income tax threshold to £12,500 by 2020. Labour would never have made this change because it liberates people from the state, he says, and claims the Conservatives were always resistant to the proposal, branding it "your tax cut, Nick".

Childcare
Nick Clegg says the Lib Dems are committed to expanding childcare to all two to four year olds, and for healthy lunches for all primary school children. "Education, opportunity. That is what the Liberal Democrats are all about," he tells the hall.
Education
Turning to education, Nick Clegg takes aim at former Education Secretary Michael Gove who he accuses of raiding the schools budget to pay for his free schools "obsession". He says the biggest coalition faultline has been "the way in which self-proclaimed Conservative educational reformers sought to suffocate almost every single initiative designed to instil opportunity at an early age - for all children, not just some".
'Vested interests'
Getting vested interests to give up their hold on powers is one of the hardest things about being in power, says Nick Clegg. He criticises Labour and the Conservatives for blocking reforms to the House of Lords, and party funding. He also accuses the Tories of pursuing English votes for English laws for party interests.

Civil liberties
The Lib Dems care passionately about civil liberties Nick Clegg says - and urges Home Secretary Theresa May to stop "playing party politics with national security" and "playing to people's fears". He says her Communications Data Bill was "disproportionate" and makes clear that the Lib Dems have blocked it before and will do so again.
London riots
Citing the London riots, he says that if you give people a future "they won't trash the present". But Britain is still a place where opportunity is handed down like an heirloom, not spread around like a universal right, Mr Clegg laments. Only the Liberal Democrats can create a fairer society that creates opportunity for everyone, he insists.

Opportunity for everyone
The Liberal Democrats stand for a different type of politics, Nick Clegg declares, and not the politics of "us and them" and "blame and fear". We must give people what they "lack yet crave", the party leader tells activists. Government can't do everything for everyone but it can try to level the playing field so people have the chance to get on, Mr Clegg adds. "Opportunity for everyone," he emphasises.

Conservative plans
Turning his fire onto his coalition partners, Mr Clegg claims the Conservative leadership believes every worry can be fixed "with a big wave" of the Union Jack flag. He says the Tory pledge to reduce net migration has been "quietly ditched", and accuses them of "dragging their feet" in introducing border controls. He criticises Tory manifesto commitments, such as the welfare freeze, and claims they will have to be paid for by deeper public spending cuts.
Attacking Labour
In an attack on the Labour Party, Nick Clegg claims Ed Miliband is "promising a new Nirvana" where everyone will be well-off and no spending cuts will be needed. The party has no new plans to offer, or anything to say on how to fix the deficit, he claims.

Past mistakes
The Lib Dems have a "credible" plan for government and the party has learnt from its "mistakes", Nick Clegg tells the conference. He says the party should be judged on the policies it has delivered in office, not on "the one policy we couldn't deliver in government" - a reference to the tuition fee pledge. It cannot be said that Labour and the Tories have learnt their lesson, he goes on to claim.

'Judge us on our record'
Nick Clegg says the party must be judged on its record of delivery, citing increases in the personal income tax threshold and free childcare as key achievements. Looking to the future, the Lib Dem leader says the party will "borrow less than Labour but cut less than the Tories", if it remains in government. "We'll finish the job, but we'll finish it in a way that is fair," he insists.
Tuition fees pledge
Voter disenchantment with the political class is at an all-time high, Nick Clegg says. Politicians of all parties have overstated what governments can do, he adds - and accepts his own part in not fulfilling the party's tuition fees pledge.
'Tolerance and compassion'
Nick Clegg says he took on UKIP leader Nigel Farage - which he pronounces in a rather French way - in the TV debates ahead of the European elections to stand up for the liberal British values of tolerance, compassion and unity. Neither Labour nor the Conservatives will defend these values, he claims, and warns that Britain would be "meaner, poorer and weaker" without the Lib Dems. The audience loves this - giving their leader a vigorous round of applause.
'Politics of fear'
Nick Clegg warns of a growing movement that is trying to "pull us apart". He accuses the "bitter tribalism of left and right" of trying to play to people's anxieties and grievances about the modern world, and blaming problems on Europe, immigrants and "anybody claiming benefits". It may be "seductive and beguiling" but the "politics of fear" only provides "the false comfort of grievance", the deputy PM warns. "Dressed up as hope it is in fact a counsel of despair", he argues.

Clegg's future
Nick Robinson
Political editor
Reflecting on Mr Clegg's future, Nick Robinson says he is likely to stay in his job even if the party loses half of its seats in the 2015 election. Even in that situation, the Lib Dems would still be "in the game" in terms of potentially holding the balance of power. But in the event of a big Conservative and Labour victory next year, the Lib Dems would have to "completely reinvent itself", he adds.
Policing
Nick Robinson
Political editor
On the Daily Politics, Nick Robinson has been mulling the question of why there are so few police at the Glasgow venue. He says there is a "stand-off" between the UK and Scottish governments about who should pay for policing, with neither terribly keen on doing so. Remember, the conference was due to be held in Liverpool but was switched to Glasgow after the date was changed to accommodate the Scottish referendum.
'Two conferences'
Nick Robinson
Political editor
The BBC's political editor Nick Robinson says it has been a tale of "two conferences" this week.

He tells the hall that 324,000 people are victims of "retaliatory evictions" each year, but have no protection in the law. This motion would seek to change that, the delegate adds, and insists good landlords would have nothing to fear.

Energy efficiency
Ed Davey says that under Lib Dem plans, people who improve the energy performance of their homes by at least two EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) bands could receive £100 off their council tax bill every year for 10 years, although he tells activists the exact figures are to be finalised. "That's the most radical policy in terms of a tax incentive for energy efficiency Britain will have ever seen," he adds.
Environmental record
Baroness Parminter says the Lib Dems have a great record of achievement in government on environmental matters. It is down to Lib Dem influence that there is compulsory micro-chipping for dogs, and a national pollinator strategy, she claims. She says the party would introduce a Nature Act with statutory targets for biodiversity and clean air and water within two years of the next parliament, if it is in government.

Looking forward to Nick Clegg's speech, Lib Dem MP Jenny Willott says her leader needs to "inspire and enthuse" people about the party's achievements in government.
Bank plans adopted
A vote is held at the end of the banking debate, which results in the adoption of a policy motion promoting a more diverse financial system. The chair announces a short break ahead of the environment Q&A, due to begin at 11.30 BST.
Speaking in the banking debate, Andrew Brown, a delegate from Bristol, urges support for an amendment which encourages the government to continue to support crowd-funding and peer-to-peer lending, arguing that the latter should be at the centre of a reformed financial sector. "Let's challenge the monolithic banking model that has been proven to be so deficient, and let us encourage small specialist banks, regional banks, mutual institutions and alternative financing structures," he appeals.

Devolution plans passed
The conference votes to adopt a policy paper calling for a fully federal system of government across the UK. It proposes a parliamentary bill to allow "devolution on demand" in England, and for a constitutional convention, with a citizens' jury at its core, to produce a new written constitution for a federal UK.

'Devolution on demand'
Nick Clegg will use his speech to call for "devolution on demand" for parts of the UK, the Western Morning News reports. The deputy prime minister told the paper: "It really is the missing bit of the constitutional jigsaw. What I am working up at the moment is ideas on how we can enshrine in law a statutory right for local areas - whether it is the North West, the North East, the South West - to demand new powers from Whitehall."
In the debate on UK federalism, Bristol delegate Dr Cripsin Allard questions whether England's local authorities are in a fit state to take on greater powers. He notes that more than 100 English local authorities lack the "checks and balances" of an effective opposition, citing Labour "dominance" in Manchester. He blames this on the first-past-the-post electoral system, and says it should be a key manifesto priority to introduce a proportional electoral system for local government, known as Single Transferrable Vote.
Votes at 16

Federalist model
Alistair Carmichael tells activists that further devolution of powers to Scotland will "unlock the progress to federalism across the whole of the United Kingdom".

Looking ahead to Nick Clegg's speech, expected to start at about 13.15 BST, aides say he'll be wearing a suit and tie and will use an autocue. Much was made of Mr Clegg's more casual attire earlier this week - with commentators engaged in debate as to whether the Lib Dem leader was wearing chinos or jeans for his Q&A with party activists.

Fringe clash
Political reporter Brian Wheeler
At a fringe meeting last night, there were testy exchanges between TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady and Danny Alexander. Ms O'Grady laid into the coalition's "unfair" public sector pay freeze and claimed low-paid workers had gained nothing from the Lib Dems' cherished policy of raising personal allowances because their benefits had also been cut. The Treasury Secretary called her analysis "economic nonsense" and said unions should be politically neutral - and stop funding campaigns to oust Lib Dem MPs. He did, however, back the unions' fight against Conservative plans to stop them taking subscription fees directly from civil servants' pay packets.
Gender and ethnicity balance
Back in the conference hall, Party President Tim Farron is responding to a raft of questions from party members, including on gender and ethnicity balance in the Federal Executive (FE). The FE is responsible for directing, co-ordinating, and implementing the work of the Federal Party.

More on mental health
Speaking to the BBC earlier, Lib Dem Care Minister Norman Lamb said the introduction of maximum waiting times for mental health patients in England will be "a watershed moment...a historic moment". He said the government's plans will "ensure genuine equality between mental and physical health". Mr Lamb also revealed that he has not "ruled out standing for the leadership" of the Liberal Democrats when Nick Clegg is no longer in the role - but stressed he doesn't want to "replace" the current leader.
Conference agenda
In the meantime, there's plenty of business to be seen to by conference. There are a series of reports for activists to contend with, on diversity, gender balance and party matters including the governing Federal Executive and membership subscriptions. We're also expecting an "emergency debate" on UK federalism at 09.45 BST, and a discussion on creating a "more diverse" banking system. A Q&A on the environment will be led by MP Tessa Munt, followed by a debate on private rented tenants.
Mental health pledge
The Lib Dem leader has announced that waiting time targets for people with mental health problems in England will be introduced for the first time. Under the plans - which will cost £120m - young people with psychosis will be seen within 14 days for the first time, and suicidal patients are to get the same priority as those with suspected heart attacks. It is a coalition policy, not just a Lib Dem manifesto pledge - but advance extracts of the speech indicate Mr Clegg will promise to extend the money into the next parliament to introduce similar targets for other conditions such as bipolar and eating disorders.
Good morning
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the last day of the Lib Dem conference, which will climax in a keynote speech from Nick Clegg at 13.15 BST. Ahead of the speech, Mr Clegg has announced that mental health reform will be a "red line" for the Lib Dems in any future coalition negotiations. He is committed to delivering parity between mental and physical health services in England.

More on Speaker's aide
In a speech to the conference, Ms McGuinness - a former Lib Dem election candidate - claimed the Conservatives would try to "buy" the 2015 election while Labour would try to "steal" it. Her comments prompted one Conservative MP to write to Mr Bercow, suggesting the remarks undermined the impartiality of his office.

While welcoming a commitment to invest in infrastructure, the organisation said it was disappointed that there was no reference to airport capacity after the party voted on Tuesday to maintain its opposition to any new runways in the south east of England.

Labour reaction
Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman believes voters will be "rightly wary" about giving the Lib Dems another chance in government because of the party's record of "broken promises and weakness". Ms Harman characterises Nick Clegg's speech as that of a man "trying desperately to justify the decision he and his party took to back the Tories all the way".
More Lib Dem reaction
Nick Clegg conveyed a "fantastic" message that can be promoted across the country in the run up to the election, says Lib Dem Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael. The Lib Dem believes his leader set out priorities which will "strike a real chord" with both party members and up and down the country.

'Pitch for coalition'
Norman Smith
BBC Assistant Political Editor
The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith says Nick Clegg made a "pitch for another coalition", and tried to carve out an identity that was "distinct and different" from Labour and the Conservatives. But he says the Lib Dem leader's "core difficulty" is his inability to shake off the mistrust people feel towards him after his U-turn on tuition fees, hence the "defensive" plea in his speech to be judged on policies the Lib Dems have introduced, rather than ones they didn't.
Tim Farron reaction
Nick Clegg's speech was "epoch-making" for mental health, according to Lib Dem party president Tim Farron. He says the reforms will be "possibly the most significant thing to happen in the NHS for at least a generation".

'Holding firm'
In a rousing finale which prompts a standing ovation, Nick Clegg tells his party: "We are now the only party holding firm to decent, liberal values while anger and blame are on the rise. The only party refusing to trade in fear because we believe what the British people want desperately from their politics is hope."

Nick Clegg says the country faces a choice - between Labour who has not learnt its lessons from the past or a Conservative Party that "doesn't share your values" and will "make poor people poorer". The Lib Dems, on the other hand, will give the people of Britain a stronger economy and a fairer society, he adds.
Impatient
Endorsing coalition government, Nick Clegg says it "unlocks the grip on power of the old, establishment parties". He says his time in office has made him more impatient with the establishment. He claims vested interests would relish to eject the Lib Dems from office before our time is up but however tempting it might be, we should never play their game and should stick it in government until the election.

While everyone in the party might not agree, he wants it to be "smack bang on the front page" of the party's election manifesto because it is a "great liberal cause", Mr Clegg tells activists, to applause.
'Big changes'
The Lib Dem leader relays his experience of a visit to a group of young mental health service users, who talked about their experiences of the care they received. The conference cheers when he confirms that national waiting times will be introduced for patients with mental health conditions. These are "big, big changes," he says.
Talking about conditions
Nick Clegg says much progress has been around mental health, but that more work is needed. He wants a society where people feel as comfortable discussing their mental conditions like stress or anxiety, as those with a sprained ankle.

Childcare
Nick Clegg says the Lib Dems are committed to expanding childcare to all two to four year olds, and for healthy lunches for all primary school children. "Education, opportunity. That is what the Liberal Democrats are all about," he tells the hall.
Education
Turning to education, Nick Clegg takes aim at former Education Secretary Michael Gove who he accuses of raiding the schools budget to pay for his free schools "obsession". He says the biggest coalition faultline has been "the way in which self-proclaimed Conservative educational reformers sought to suffocate almost every single initiative designed to instil opportunity at an early age - for all children, not just some".
'Vested interests'
Getting vested interests to give up their hold on powers is one of the hardest things about being in power, says Nick Clegg. He criticises Labour and the Conservatives for blocking reforms to the House of Lords, and party funding. He also accuses the Tories of pursuing English votes for English laws for party interests.

He says her Communications Data Bill was "disproportionate" and makes clear that the Lib Dems have blocked it before and will do so again.
London riots
Citing the London riots, he says that if you give people a future "they won't trash the present". But Britain is still a place where opportunity is handed down like an heirloom, not spread around like a universal right, Mr Clegg laments. Only the Liberal Democrats can create a fairer society that creates opportunity for everyone, he insists.

Opportunity for everyone

We must give people what they "lack yet crave", the party leader tells activists. Government can't do everything for everyone but it can try to level the playing field so people have the chance to get on, Mr Clegg adds. "Opportunity for everyone," he emphasises.

Conservative plans
Turning his fire onto his coalition partners, Mr Clegg claims the Conservative leadership believes every worry can be fixed "with a big wave" of the Union Jack flag. He says the Tory pledge to reduce net migration has been "quietly ditched", and accuses them of "dragging their feet" in introducing border controls. He criticises Tory manifesto commitments, such as the welfare freeze, and claims they will have to be paid for by deeper public spending cuts.
Attacking Labour
In an attack on the Labour Party, Nick Clegg claims Ed Miliband is "promising a new Nirvana" where everyone will be well-off and no spending cuts will be needed. The party has no new plans to offer, or anything to say on how to fix the deficit, he claims.

It cannot be said that Labour and the Tories have learnt their lesson, he goes on to claim.

'Judge us on our record'
Nick Clegg says the party must be judged on its record of delivery, citing increases in the personal income tax threshold and free childcare as key achievements. Looking to the future, the Lib Dem leader says the party will "borrow less than Labour but cut less than the Tories", if it remains in government. "We'll finish the job, but we'll finish it in a way that is fair," he insists.
Tuition fees pledge
Voter disenchantment with the political class is at an all-time high, Nick Clegg says. Politicians of all parties have overstated what governments can do, he adds - and accepts his own part in not fulfilling the party's tuition fees pledge.
'Tolerance and compassion'
Nick Clegg says he took on UKIP leader Nigel Farage - which he pronounces in a rather French way - in the TV debates ahead of the European elections to stand up for the liberal British values of tolerance, compassion and unity. Neither Labour nor the Conservatives will defend these values, he claims, and warns that Britain would be "meaner, poorer and weaker" without the Lib Dems. The audience loves this - giving their leader a vigorous round of applause.
'Politics of fear'
Nick Clegg warns of a growing movement that is trying to "pull us apart". He accuses the "bitter tribalism of left and right" of trying to play to people's anxieties and grievances about the modern world, and blaming problems on Europe, immigrants and "anybody claiming benefits". It may be "seductive and beguiling" but the "politics of fear" only provides "the false comfort of grievance", the deputy PM warns. "Dressed up as hope it is in fact a counsel of despair", he argues.

Nick Robinson

Reflecting on Mr Clegg's future, Nick Robinson says he is likely to stay in his job even if the party loses half of its seats in the 2015 election. Even in that situation, the Lib Dems would still be "in the game" in terms of potentially holding the balance of power. But in the event of a big Conservative and Labour victory next year, the Lib Dems would have to "completely reinvent itself", he adds.
Policing
Nick Robinson
Political editor
On the Daily Politics, Nick Robinson has been mulling the question of why there are so few police at the Glasgow venue. He says there is a "stand-off" between the UK and Scottish governments about who should pay for policing, with neither terribly keen on doing so. Remember, the conference was due to be held in Liverpool but was switched to Glasgow after the date was changed to accommodate the Scottish referendum.
'Two conferences'

The BBC's political editor Nick Robinson says it has been a tale of "two conferences" this week.

'Rogue' landlords
Introducing the motion on the rental sector, Thomas Nicholls expresses concern at "rogue" landlords who evict tenants who ask for repairs to be carried out to their home. He tells the hall that 324,000 people are victims of "retaliatory evictions" each year, but have no protection in the law. This motion would seek to change that, the delegate adds, and insists good landlords would have nothing to fear.
Danny Alexander
On the BBC's Daily Politics, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander has been telling Andrew Neil about the Lib Dems' plans to cut the deficit. He says the government's New Homes Bonus scheme would be scrapped, saving about £500m, and capital gains tax increased.
Private tenants debate
The Q&A session has drawn to a close and activists are now debating a policy motion on the private rented sector, specifically the rights and responsibilities of tenants and landlords.
Full house?
As several commentators have noted, some of the sessions at this conference have been less than well-attended. But the hall will undoubtedly be full for Nick Clegg's speech in just over an hour's time.
Energy efficiency
Ed Davey says that under Lib Dem plans, people who improve the energy performance of their homes by at least two EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) bands could receive £100 off their council tax bill every year for 10 years, although he tells activists the exact figures are to be finalised. "That's the most radical policy in terms of a tax incentive for energy efficiency Britain will have ever seen," he adds.
Environmental record
Baroness Parminter says the Lib Dems have a great record of achievement in government on environmental matters. It is down to Lib Dem influence that there is compulsory micro-chipping for dogs, and a national pollinator strategy, she claims. She says the party would introduce a Nature Act with statutory targets for biodiversity and clean air and water within two years of the next parliament, if it is in government.

Activists now turn their attention to a debate on the banking system, which is being led by Redcar MP Ian Swales, who co-chairs the party's parliamentary committee on the Treasury. The motion being considered develops Lib Dem policy on promoting a more diverse banking system, with a focus on community banking and finance.
Devolution plans passed
The conference votes to adopt a policy paper calling for a fully federal system of government across the UK. It proposes a parliamentary bill to allow "devolution on demand" in England, and for a constitutional convention, with a citizens' jury at its core, to produce a new written constitution for a federal UK. The motion also calls for a £10,000 annual cap on donations to political parties, and for the proportional electoral system known as STV to be used at every level of election.

The pledge on mental health will be the "big announcement" of Nick Clegg's conference address. The rest will focus on what aides called "vision and values" rather than detail.

'Devolution on demand'
Nick Clegg will use his speech to call for "devolution on demand" for parts of the UK, the Western Morning News reports. The deputy prime minister told the paper: "It really is the missing bit of the constitutional jigsaw. What I am working up at the moment is ideas on how we can enshrine in law a statutory right for local areas - whether it is the North West, the North East, the South West - to demand new powers from Whitehall."

PR for local elections
In the debate on UK federalism, Bristol delegate Dr Cripsin Allard questions whether England's local authorities are in a fit state to take on greater powers. He notes that more than 100 English local authorities lack the "checks and balances" of an effective opposition, citing Labour "dominance" in Manchester. He blames this on the first-past-the-post electoral system, and says it should be a key manifesto priority to introduce a proportional electoral system for local government, known as Single Transferrable Vote.
Votes at 16
The policy motion currently being debated celebrates Scotland's decision to remain in the UK, and advocates a move to a "fully federal" UK. It also endorses votes for 16 and 17 year olds in all future elections.

SNP 'failure'
Referring to Scotland, Mr Carmichael says the outgoing SNP leader and First Minister Alex Salmond has presided over "the most centralised government" in western Europe, and that the party must accept the need to cede more powers to local communities. "Their centralisation has failed and the way ahead for the future is empowerment for local communities," he adds.
Federalist model
Alistair Carmichael tells activists that further devolution of powers to Scotland will "unlock the progress to federalism across the whole of the United Kingdom". He reiterates that the Lib Dems will only allow progress on Conservative plans for English votes for English laws if it is based on a system of proportional representation, as has been the case for other parts of the UK, he argues.

Empty seats
Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael is introducing an emergency debate on UK federalism. It's less than well-attended. Mr Carmichael jokes that his audience on Sunday morning at conference was "really quite full" in comparison.
Clegg's attire
Looking ahead to Nick Clegg's speech, expected to start at about 13.15 BST, aides say he'll be wearing a suit and tie and will use an autocue. Much was made of Mr Clegg's more casual attire earlier this week - with commentators engaged in debate as to whether the Lib Dem leader was wearing chinos or jeans for his Q&A with party activists.
Fringe clash
Political reporter Brian Wheeler
At a fringe meeting last night, there were testy exchanges between TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady and Danny Alexander. Ms O'Grady laid into the coalition's "unfair" public sector pay freeze and claimed low-paid workers had gained nothing from the Lib Dems' cherished policy of raising personal allowances because their benefits had also been cut. The Treasury Secretary called her analysis "economic nonsense" and said unions should be politically neutral - and stop funding campaigns to oust Lib Dem MPs. He did, however, back the unions' fight against Conservative plans to stop them taking subscription fees directly from civil servants' pay packets.
Gender and ethnicity balance
Back in the conference hall, Party President Tim Farron is responding to a raft of questions from party members, including on gender and ethnicity balance in the Federal Executive (FE). The FE is responsible for directing, co-ordinating, and implementing the work of the Federal Party.
More on mental health
Speaking to the BBC earlier, Lib Dem Care Minister Norman Lamb said the introduction of maximum waiting times for mental health patients in England will be "a watershed moment...a historic moment". He said the government's plans will "ensure genuine equality between mental and physical health". Mr Lamb also revealed that he has not "ruled out standing for the leadership" of the Liberal Democrats when Nick Clegg is no longer in the role - but stressed he doesn't want to "replace" the current leader.
Conference agenda
In the meantime, there's plenty of business to be seen to by conference. There are a series of reports for activists to contend with, on diversity, gender balance and party matters including the governing Federal Executive and membership subscriptions. We're also expecting an "emergency debate" on UK federalism at 09.45 BST, and a discussion on creating a "more diverse" banking system. A Q&A on the environment will be led by MP Tessa Munt, followed by a debate on private rented tenants.
Mental health pledge
The Lib Dem leader has announced that waiting time targets for people with mental health problems in England will be introduced for the first time. Under the plans - which will cost £120m - young people with psychosis will be seen within 14 days for the first time, and suicidal patients are to get the same priority as those with suspected heart attacks. It is a coalition policy, not just a Lib Dem manifesto pledge - but advance extracts of the speech indicate Mr Clegg will promise to extend the money into the next parliament to introduce similar targets for other conditions such as bipolar and eating disorders.
Good morning
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the last day of the Lib Dem conference, which will climax in a keynote speech from Nick Clegg at 13.15 BST. Ahead of the speech, Mr Clegg has announced that mental health reform will be a "red line" for the Lib Dems in any future coalition negotiations. He is committed to delivering parity between mental and physical health services in England.
