On Wednesday's Phone-In

DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW IF A CONVICTED CRIMINAL LIVES IN OUR STREET? It's Day 3 of the Conservative Party conference in Manchester where law and order is expected to dominate the agenda. The Shadow Justice Secretary, Dominic Grieve, will tell delegates he wants to put the rights of 'law-abiding citizens' ahead of criminals. And under them, the police could name and shame offenders if they pose a local threat - do you back the idea? Would you want to know if a car thief or mugger lived near you? What difference would it make? 03700 100 110, text 81012.

DO YOU OPPOSE THE UK'S MILITARY OPERATION IN AGHANISTAN? An opinion poll commissioned by the BBC suggests that 56 per cent of people in Britain oppose the UK's military operation in Afghanistan. Thirty seven per cent of the one thousand people questioned backed British involvement. 220 British troops have died there since 2001. Are you in favour or are you against? President Obama has said he will not slash troop numbers in Afghanistan, or turn the conflict into a more limited counter-terrorist operation. So what should be done in Afghanistan? Do you know someone serving there?

HAVE STANDARDS IN SCHOOL UNIFORMS SLIPPED? Parents at a school near Bristol have been voicing their anger after a headteacher banned girls from wearing a tight-fitting brand of trousers. The papers say that some pupils have been sent home for wearing the 'Miss Sexy' brand of trousers at Nailsea Comprehensive because they're too revealing. Is the headteacher right? Parents are angry now but should they have acted more responsibly? Did you once wear a uniform? How strict was your headteacher? Is the school uniform a good tradition or an outdated one?
