Cameron and Clegg back TV debate

David Cameron and Nick Clegg have accepted a call to take part in a televised leaders' debate in the run-up to the next general election.

Sky News announced it will host a live debate during the campaign, warning that it will "empty chair" any leader who declines to take part.

The Conservative and Liberal Democrat leaders have long said that they would welcome a TV debate, but it remains unclear whether Prime Minister Gordon Brown would be willing to take part.
