Summary: The government admitted today that its attempt to rush through plans for independent consortiums to take over ITV regional news provision before the general election has failed. A Labour victory in the 6 May general election is the only thing that can now save the plan, which the Conservatives say they would scrap. Separately, the government has also been forced to remove the clause from the digital economy bill enabling the scheme to be started nationally after 2012, as part of a deal with the Conservatives to get the rest of the legislation through parliament before it is dissolved later this week. - guardian.co.uk
