Conservative leader David Cameron and his wife Samantha are expecting a baby, a spokeswoman for his party in Britain said today.

The baby is due in September, four months after the expected date of a general election which Mr Cameron is the favourite to win.

In February last year, Mr Cameron's disabled son Ivan died aged six. He had suffered from cerebral palsy and severe epilepsy and needed constant care.

The couple have two other children, Nancy (6) and Arthur (4).
