More info but most of it is behind the Murdoch paywall.. should be on the front page of the paper it looks like:

Home Secretary Theresa May faces a Commons showdown over claims that the secret services colluded with United States intelligence agencies to gain access to the online records of British citizens. In a move described as a “snooper’s charter by the back door”, sources confirmed that personal information about British internet users had been harvested by US agencies and shared with GCHQ, the Government’s eavesdropping station. It emerged that GCHQ had directly requested material from the US National Security Agency’s Prism programme, which can search huge stores of internet data for information on individuals. Prism was created by US intelligence to gather information on non-US citizens living outside the country. MPs from all three main parties demanded yesterday that the Home Secretary appear in…

CONTROVERSY...

GCHQ is to give a report within days to Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee on the listening agency's links to a secret US spy programme.

This follows claims, in the Guardian, that GCHQ has been covertly gathering data from top US internet firms via America's Prism surveillance programme.

Committee (ISC) chairman Sir Malcolm Rifkind expects the report by Monday.

He said he was "encouraged" by GCHQ's statement that it operated to a "strict legal and policy framework".

The Guardian says it has obtained documents showing that Britain's secret listening post had access to the Prism system, set up by America's National Security Agency (NSA), since at least June 2010.

The newspaper said that the Prism programme appeared to allow the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) to circumvent the formal legal process required to obtain personal material, such as emails, photographs and videos, from internet companies based outside the UK.

Sir Malcolm said: "The ISC is aware of the allegations surrounding data obtained by GCHQ via the US Prism programme.

"The ISC will be receiving a full report from GCHQ very shortly and will decide what further action needs to be taken as soon as it receives that information."

Looks like Obama's sold us out to the redcoats.
