    David Cameron is to risk a fresh row with Tory Eurosceptics by signing up to nearly a third of a series of European

    policing and criminal justice measures that have been heavily criticised by backbenchers campaigning to curb the EU.

    The prime minister, who said earlier this week that membership of the EU gives the UK a seat at the world's

    "top table", is expected to opt in to 30-40 of the measures following warnings of a threat to security if Britain

    fails to sign up.

    The decision by the Cameron, which has still to be finalised in negotiations between Danny Alexander and

    Oliver Letwin, will disappoint Eurosceptics who had hoped Britain would stand apart from most of the 130 measures.
