''The deputy prime minister has pledged to create a "cleaner, better politics" after days of sleaze allegations involving MPs and peers, which he says shows the political system is "crying out for head-to-toe reform".
Ministers are to revive shelved plans for laws to be introduced before 2015 to regulate lobbyists and recall errant MPs following the allegations, which may have damaged the standing of parliament.
Nick Clegg, who had dropped a coalition pledge for a new lobbying register and powers to recall errant MPs, said he was optimistic the plan could be forced through parliament.''
