Military action in Libya has prompted Prime Minister David Cameron to launch a rethink on defence cuts, Sky News has learned.

Changes could include U-turns on plans to cut the number of RAF Tornados and scrap surveillance planes.

A senior Government insider said the Prime Minister was not planning to reopen or rewrite the Strategic Defence and Security Review.

But the source told Sky News: "Obviously we are always looking to check we have all we need. You don't just have a review and leave it at that."
