Labour MP and former Home Secretary Jack Straw rejects the suggestion by some that proposals in the Draft Communications Data Bill - originally set out in 2012 - amount to a "snoopers' charter". Since the Paris attacks, David Cameron has said the intelligence services need new powers to store and read the contents of communications. However, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has said the Liberal Democrats will continue to oppose a so-called "snoopers' charter".

Theresa May says the government publishes quarterly figures of the number of people who are subject to Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (TPIMs) which restrict the movements of terrorist suspects deemed to be a threat to national security. It is "a matter for the security services" to propose someone who should be subject to a TPIM to the home secretary, she adds.

Nick Robinson notes that there was a 16 year gap between the first and second US presidential election debate. He says that once there is a set of televised debates "somebody works out its not in their interests". That's why David Cameron is willing to take "as much name calling as you like". On the practicality of empty-chairing David Cameron, he says it would be "a pretty big call" for broadcasters to go ahead with the debates without a party leader - or prime minister - in one of the most important elections "in years".

Green Party leader Natalie Bennett has written to Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage asking them to indicate to ITV that they are open to the Greens' inclusion, as she feels sure that ITV "would respond", says Daily Politics presenter Andrew Neil. Nick Robinson says the broadcasters have a common position on the formats of the debates - "UKIP in, Greens out", but that if any were to "break ranks" it would "dramatically" change things, as David Cameron could then "pick and choose" which debates to take part in.

Speaking on BBC 2's Daily Politics, BBC political editor Nick Robinson comments on the leaders' exchanges about the TV election debates, with David Cameron refusing to take part unless the Green Party is included. He describes it as "an incredibly high stakes poker game", with the ultimate prize being power. David Cameron thinks the debates as currently formulated "could stop him from staying in Number 10", he says, "and frankly he'll live with a bit of embarrassment to stop the debates taking place".
