Govt asks Facebook members to submit ideas on spending cuts

Facebook is teaming up with the British Prime Minister's office to solicit ideas from the public on how to cut the budget deficit. The social networking site will ask its 23 million members in the UK to submit and vote on ideas for where cuts can be made.

The government says Facebook will be its "primary channel" for communicating with the public about spending cuts.

The website will have a page for people to debate spending priorities and will allow people to submit and vote for ideas on where cuts could be made.

Watch a video chat between PM David Cameron and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg below.
