Brown backs down in expenses row
 Mr Brown said ministers would 'continue to consult on the matter' |
Ministers have shelved plans to exempt MPs' expenses details from the Freedom of Information Act, after the Tories and Lib Dems said they would fight it.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown said the government had thought it had cross-party agreement but would now "continue to consult on the matter".
Campaigners said it was a victory for "people power" after a web protest.
