The leader of the Green Party, Natalie Bennett, has welcomed confirmation that the television debates between party leaders will go ahead.
The Green Party is taking part in the debates after over 280,000 people signed a petition calling for their inclusion.
Ms Bennett said:
"I welcome the fact that we now finally appeared to have reached the end of the debate about the debates.
"David Cameron's intransigence has delayed this process, and taken away space in which we might have been debating the future of Britain - our low-pay, insecure jobs, the privatisation of our NHS, the urgency of cutting carbon emissions.
"Nonetheless, we can now move on, in the new age of multiparty politics in Britain."
