Cameron's 'final try'

DAVID Cameron is planning a final attempt to secure agreement on Lords reform.

The Prime Minister is willing to put forward a "slightly different package", including reducing the planned 80% of elected senators to a lower number. The move came after Mr Cameron withdrew a key parliamentary timetable motion because it faced being defeated and seeing 91 Tories rebel on the principle of the Lords reform Bill.
