Blair urged to compromise on house arrest

Charles Kennedy will today push the prime minister to rethink the government's contentious proposals for house arrest, as Downing Street hosts a highly unusual anti-terrorism summit with the three main party leaders.

Tony Blair will hold successive meetings with Mr Kennedy and the Conservative leader, Michael Howard, as the government seeks a cross-party consensus on how to deal with terrorist suspects who have not been charged with any crime.

The Tories and Lib Dems both oppose new plans from the home secretary, Charles Clarke, to issue "control orders" which would see untried suspects confined to house detention on the orders of politicians.
