First press coverage for motions due to be debated at the Liberal Democrat spring conference in York courtesy of The Guardian:

Mass surveillance by security services should be reviewed, say Lib Dems
Party’s motion, in wake of Snowden whistleblowing, covers agencies’ accountability, data collection and bill of rights

It’s worth noting the positive comments about the motion being made on Nick Clegg’s behalf to the media. This isn’t a grassroots revolt; it’s the collective view of the party.
