Clegg unhappy over free vote

As predicted in the Belfast Telegraph, MPs are to be given a free vote on whether to change the law relating to gay marriage.

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg isn't happy, saying the issue shouldn't become a "giant free-for-all" for MPs' consciences.

The move would ensure no embarrassing rebellion by Tory MPs opposed to any change - including Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson.
