UK terror vote to go down to wire

The British Government faces a parliamentary battle over its plans to extend the amount of time terror suspects can be detained without charge, with the vote overnight set to go down to the wire.

Though a new poll showed strong support for Prime Minister Gordon Brown's plans to increase the pre-charge detention limit for suspected extremists to 42 days from 28, several MPs from the ruling Labour Party were still expected to rebel and vote against the Government.
