The two contenders for the job of British Prime Minister have taken part separately in a televized town-hall style meeting with members of the public as well as a more formal interview.
Current Prime Minister, Conservative Party leader David Cameron found himself having to defend his record on immigration and the imposition of deep cuts in public services amid concern about the future of the National Health Service.
His rival, Labour leader Ed Miliband spoke later to argue his case as Britain heads to the polls in early May.
David Cameron told an audience that his government had not wanted to impose steep cuts to public services, but would continue with austerity measures rather than raise taxes if the Conservatives win the general election.
