Prime Minister visits Hastings to set out party manifesto

Prime Minister David Cameron makes a speech setting out the Conservative Party's manifesto theme at the Saga offices in Hastings, East Sussex.

Pensioner benefits will continue to be protected if the Conservatives win the general election, Cameron pledged today.

Universal winter fuel payments, free bus passes and television licences will be shielded from cuts in a repeat of the promise the Prime Minister made ahead of the 2010 poll.
