Lib Dem Leader Nick Clegg MP

Speaking after meetings between all party leaders to discuss reform of MPs' expenses, Nick Clegg said: "Today's talks saw more progress in a single day than we have seen over many decades."

Liberal Democrat Leader went on to say, "Finally MPs will no longer decide their own pay or write their own rules."

"There are still many issues that need to be solved if we are to restore people's trust."

Nick Clegg concluded, "But hopefully we have taken the first step on a long journey that sees Parliament dragged from the 19th Century into the 21st."
