David Cameron has insisted intelligence agencies "operate within the law", amid allegations that the data-gathering centre GCHQ circumvented the law to gain information on UK citizens.

Ex-CIA worker Edward Snowden claims US agencies gathered and shared phone records and internet data.

The prime minister said UK agencies were subject to "proper scrutiny" by Parliament and did a "fantastic job".
