The government is being accused of dragging its feet over the publication of new guidelines for the intelligence agencies on the treatment of terrorist suspects held abroad.

Gordon Brown signalled last week that the guidance would be released before a Commons debate on intelligence matters yesterday.

Security correspondent Gordon Correra outlines the guidance, and Michael Mates, a senior Conservative MP on the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC), explains delays to the report.
