ITV, BBC, Channel 4 and Sky have revealed their plans for a series of live party leader debates in the run up to the 2015 General Election.
Televised debates involving the party leaders should be a permanent feature in General Election campaigns, ITV's Director of News and Current Affairs Michael Jermey said.
Viewers really engaged with the hugely successful leaders' debates four years ago and tell us that they found them very useful in understanding the issues and deciding how to vote.
The precedent set in Britain in 2010 should be followed up in 2015 and the debates should become a permanent feature in General Election campaigns.
