Having earlier indicated the Health and Social Care Bill will be supported by the Lib Dem leadership, Clegg now appears to have wavered in this view somewhat.
It's not surprising - there is immense unease amongst the wider membership (and, on left of the party, outright opposition) to the reforms amongst the Liberal Democrat Party.
Not for the first time, Clegg - whose view are in many ways firmly to the right of his party - has had to backtrack on his initial support for Tory policy.
Whether this translates into a further challenge from his party this week remains to be seen.
