Lib Dems' Nick Clegg shelving party pledges

Nick Clegg has confirmed the recession means the Lib Dems will have to shelve some of their best-known policies in a speech on his election "priorities".

Extending free childcare, free personal care for the elderly and a "citizen's pension" would have to be "put on hold" and tuition fees ended over six years.

He said the days of "shopping lists" of spending pledges were over so his party could focus on priorities like schools.
