Tory and Liberal Democrat Talks 'Positive'

David Cameron and Nick Clegg have met for a second time to discuss forming a government.

The 45 minute meeting in Parliament came after senior Tories and Liberal Democrats spent six hours in "very positive and productive" talks on the possibility.

According to BBC News shadow foreign secretary William Hague said they agreed economic stability would be key to any agreement.

It also emerged that Clegg then met Gordon Brown at the Foreign Office to discuss a potential deal.

A spokesman for the Conservatives said they and the Liberal Democrats were "discussing specific proposals" and their negotiating teams would gather again on May 10 morning.

The Tories won the most votes and MPs in Thursday's election, but are short of a majority and are seeking support from the Liberal Democrats to form a government.

Gordon Brown remains prime minister, and government business continues, with Chancellor Alistair Darling attending a meeting of finance ministers in Brussels. Brown has offered the Liberal Democrats talks if no deal is reached with the Conservatives.
