David Cameron is seeking to change the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) so that it no longer serves as an automatic last resort for criminals, including foreigners awaiting deportation.

However Downing Street has admitted that getting agreement on how to speed up the Court's operation will be an enormous challenge.
