Clegg makes £30 pension gaffe

Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg slipped up during an interview at the party's conference - when he said the basic state pension was just £30.

The true figures are £90.70 a week for a single person and £145.45 for a couple. Mr Clegg later told the BBC News Channel he had got it "spectacularly wrong".
