Miliband Calls On Cameron To 'Name The Date' For A Head-To-Head Debate
The Labour Leader is calling on the Prime Minister to "name the date" for a head-to-head TV debate.
Ed Miliband has accused the David Cameron of trying to "wriggle" out of three debates.
Cameron said he was issuing a "final offer" of a single TV appearance alongside all of the other six political parties.
However, broadcasters said they are pressing ahead with plans to air a debate for the two people in the running to be the next prime minister on 30 April.
Appearing on his weekly LBC radio phone-in, Mr Clegg said: "Having been in government for five years, I also have this old-fashioned view that I want to defend the record of this Government. If David Cameron is too busy or too important to defend the record of this Government with Ed Miliband, then I offer myself. I'll do it instead."
