The FA plans to introduce what it calls "temporary dismissals" in England's step seven - six tiers below the National League - and the leagues below.
They will only apply to yellow cards shown for dissent, and will see players leave the field for 10 minutes.
It will also be tested in Sunday League and male and female youth football.
More than 1,000 clubs received emails over the weekend asking if they were willing to be part of the pilot process.
"There has already been a positive response with over 60 leagues in support of it," an FA spokesperson said.
Clubs are normally charged a £10 fine for each yellow card but the FA will not be charging this administration fee for those that participate.
Step seven is the bottom level of English football's National League System, which feeds into the country's professional leagues.
The highest league within that structure - step one - is the National League.
The move has been backed by teenage Sunday League referee Ryan Hampson, who earlier this year organised a nationwide strike by officials in protest at the amount of abuse they face in the grassroots game.
"There's obviously a lot more to be done but it's a step in the right direction and a great start," he told BBC Radio 5 live. | The Football Association will trial 'sin bins' in the lower leagues of English football from next season. | 39790484 | Summarize the following news within 54 words:

Raja Ali's car was rammed and then blocked in at the side by two vehicles in Dagenham on 25 September 2016.
The 33-year-old was then chased and stabbed.
Abubakar Bana, from Hornchurch, Essex, and Jordon Archambie, 20, of Stratford, east London, were convicted following a trial at the Old Bailey.
Daniel Welch, 34, of Winstead Gardens, Dagenham, and Zakar Yunas, 22, of Rokeby Steret, Stratford, were found guilty of violent disorder.
Mussa Jalo, 21, from Norfolk Road, Dagenham, had pleaded guilty to violent disorder at the start of the trial, along with Bana, of Station Lane, and Archambie, of Hesketh Road.
Jurors in the trial heard that Mr Ali was sat in his car along with two friends waiting for what they thought was a drugs deal.
A Mitsubishi Shogun 4x4 then rammed into Mr Ali's car, shunting it forward, while a red Renault Megane pulled up alongside and the occupants got out armed with weapons.
Mr Ali and two other men ran away but they were chased and the 33-year-old was stabbed to death in Braintree Road.
Det Ch Insp Dave Whellams called it a "pre-planned and orchestrated murder".
"Regardless of what Raja's intentions were that night, when he arranged to meet these men he should not have lost his life.
"I hope Raja's grieving family are able to move forward knowing his attackers have now been brought to justice."

Scottish Chambers of Commerce (SCC) chief executive Liz Cameron highlighted the need for 11,000 new roles each year in Scotland's digital and IT sector.
She warned that the vacancies could not be filled entirely by British workers.
Ms Cameron also called for a migration system that responded to Scotland's lower population growth rate.
She said Scotland's projected population growth to 2024 was only 3.1%, compared with a projected 7.5% increase for England over the same period.
She warned that could leave the economy growing more slowly and unable to sustain public service levels.
Ms Cameron's comments came as the prime minister prepares to get Brexit negotiations under way.
Theresa May has set a deadline of 31 March for invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, getting official talks with the EU started.
In a statement, Ms Cameron said: "It is time to make the case for a new migration system that works for the UK, works for Scotland and, above all, works for business.
"Free movement of people across Europe may have led us to become complacent about the effort that is required to target the talents that our businesses need across all sectors and all parts of the UK.
"We need to plan now for a system that will be focused on sourcing the right talent, wherever in the world that exists, and in the numbers that meet the demands of our economy."
Giving greater control over immigration to Holyrood has been a key demand of Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in the wake of the Brexit vote.
However in January the home secretary appeared to rule out the possibility of Scotland being handed powers over immigration after the UK leaves the EU.
Amber Rudd said introducing different rules "would complicate the immigration system, harming its integrity" and cause problems for businesses. | A Scottish business leader has stepped up calls for a migration system that can fill skills gaps after Britain pulls out of the EU. | 39165996 | Summarize the following news within 75 words:

Flanker Davies, 25, was a key player as Team GB claimed a silver medal in the rugby sevens in Rio.
New Zealander Pivac credited Davies with a key moment in helping GB beat Argentina in a tense quarter-final, and expects him to be pressing for a first Wales 15-a-side cap.
"He's always been knocking on the door, he's there or thereabouts," said Pivac.
"There are three or four good sevens (openside flankers) in Wales - it would depend on the style of game that you play.
"James suits an open style of game with a lot of running and a lot of ball movement.
"So if that's the way Wales are going, he's suited. But he's not the only one in that position that can do that."
Davies was selected for the Olympics after being omitted from Wales' squad for the summer tour of New Zealand.
After receiving his medal in Rio, the player jokingly thanked Wales coach Warren Gatland for not selecting him.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Pivac has coached at World-level sevens but says he has not dealt with an Olympic medallist in the past.
He said Davies would be given a break before returning to training, but was looking forward to seeing him "because he's a character at the best of times."
Team-mate Scott Williams expects the flanker - younger brother of Scarlets and Wales centre Jonathan Davies - to turn up for his first training session wearing the medal.
Asked the region were proud of Davies' achievement, Pivac replied: "Immensely so."
"It's the first rugby sevens at the Olympics, the biggest stage.
"When you listen to all the successful GB athletes each night, talking about how proud they are and how their families are so proud of them - they want to make their country proud and James is no exception.
"He played a big part in that."
Pivac added Davies' strengths as a 15-a-side player had made him a key player for GB sevens team particularly in their nail-biting 5-0 sudden death win against Argentina.
"I think it's his 15-a-side skills, the ones that he's very good at, transferred well into sevens," Pivac said.
"His work at the breakdown is what he's known for in 15s and he was exceptional in gaining turnovers for his team in Rio - either straight turnovers or holding-on penalties against the opposition.

The logo quickly made headlines - it was dubbed "the wildest tourism slogan ever" by one news outlet - with critics variously hailing it as hilarious or distasteful.
It bellows "See You in the Northern Territories", but uses acronyms throughout.
"Well this is a bold strategy for a travel campaign," one person tweeted.
But despite appearances, it is not an official campaign - as the actual NT tourism authority soon made clear.
"Tourism NT is aware of inappropriate use of our trademarked Brolga logo. We are in no way affiliated with these promotions," it tweeted.
The creators of the ad, NTOfficial.com, released a statement describing themselves as "an independent underground campaign" promoting the NT to young people.
But they added they were also responsible for selling all the merchandise on the site.
However, debate continued around the slogan's possible effectiveness for promoting the Northern Territory, which has experienced declining tourism numbers since 2000.
The word the ad plays on is generally considered misogynistic and highly offensive. But in Australia, it is often not taken as seriously as in other English-speaking countries, sometimes being used almost affectionately.
"Love the new ad", said one tweet. "If you need me, I'll be in the #NorthernTerritory," said another.
But not all were impressed.
"Words fail me are you people out of your minds with a slogan like that!!!??? Shows a serious lack of national maturity to say the least," wrote Ben Grego.
Michelle Doherty said: "Stupid especially at a first glance if you don't know what CU stand for."
Associate Prof Con Stavros, a marketing expert from RMIT University in Melbourne, said social media would ultimately judge the slogan, but he was not sure about it.
"It's very confronting so I suspect it's probably crossed that line between edgy and acceptable," he said.
Tourism NT would be watching the response very closely, he said.
"It's not a bad position to be in. If it doesn't cross the line, they don't have to take ownership - but can say it helped," he said
Was there any chance they were in on the stunt?
"No, it's not normal in marketing that you send off some kind of rogue element, some dark ops thing," he said.

Graphic Design student Leanne Young won the competition with a forest fairy tale design featuring Highland cows, squirrels and the Loch Ness Monster.
It will feature on boxes to be given to every newborn baby from this summer until March 2019.
More than 70 students applied for the design competition, being run by the V&A Dundee, to decide what the boxes will look like.
One other design, by Marwa Ebrahim from Glasgow School of Art, was also highly commended by the judges.
The boxes, which are being piloted in Clackmannanshire and Orkney, will contain items including bedding, clothing and toys.
Ms Young, from Edinburgh Napier University, will receive a prize of £1,000 and "exclusive mentoring" from leading Scottish designers Holly Fulton and Scott Jarvie.
She said she was delighted her design would feature on Scotland's first baby box.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience from concept to realisation and hope that young families will interact with the design I have created," she said.
"It's really exciting to be involved with the entire process and I've appreciated all the support and encouragement I have received from my mentors so far.
"The course at Edinburgh Napier has allowed me to develop my graphic design skills and allowed me to participate in this exciting new government initiative."
Judges praised Ms Young's high contrast illustration which they said was "visually stimulating" for babies. The images can also be customised by each individual family.
Early Years Minister Mark McDonald said: "It was an extremely difficult task trying to pick an overall winner but the judges were in agreement that Leanne's concept should be the first ever design for Scotland's baby box.
"Not only is it incredibly interactive, allowing families to customise and decorate the box throughout the years, it also acts as a multi-purpose memory capsule. It has space to record key milestones, a family tree and even the baby's handprints or footprints.
"Although all babies born in Scotland will receive one of these boxes I am extremely pleased that each one will be completely unique to every family." | The winning design for Scotland's baby boxes has been revealed. | 39224091 | Summarize the following news within 86 words:

At present the practice is used only in adults, but researchers say it should be applied to children too.
Their paper is based on a trial of nearly 1,500 children at 14 intensive care units in England.
The researchers said cutting infections would also save the NHS money.
When patients are admitted to intensive care in hospital a tube, called a line or central venous catheter, is inserted into large veins in the body to deliver drugs, food or fluids.
But bacteria are often attracted to these plastic tubes, making them one of the main reasons for infections in the patient's bloodstream.
These infections can lead to damage to the brain and other organs, and cases of septic shock. They can also occur when blood clots form in and around the tube.
In studies on adult patients, coating the catheters both inside and out with low levels of antibiotics or the blood-thinning drug heparin was found to reduce infections by 70-80%.
This study, from the UCL Institute of Child Health, and Great Ormond Street Hospital, is the first to be carried out in children.
It found that only 1% of patients using an antibiotic-coated catheter developed infections in their bloodstream, compared with 4% of patients using a standard tube.
The study called this "a significant decrease" on normal levels of infection in paediatric intensive care units.
Quen Mok, consultant in intensive care at Great Ormond Street Hospital and one of the study authors, said the tubes should now be used on children.
"Bloodstream infections can be dangerous for children who are already very sick.
"They can make conditions worse and even cause death, so ways to reduce the infection risk to our patients in intensive care would be very welcome."
Although the antibiotic-coated catheter was found to reduce infection numbers in children under 16 years old, a catheter coated in a blood-thinning drug showed no signs of cutting infection rates.
And death rates in intensive care were not reduced by the use of antibiotic-coated tubes.
Tubes coated with antibiotic are more expensive than standard tubes but the researchers said adopting them would still prove cost effective because they would result in shorter hospital stays and reduce the costs of treating infections in intensive care. | Fewer children would develop infections in intensive care if the plastic tubes used to deliver drugs straight into their veins were coated in antibiotics, a study in The Lancet suggests. | 35717775 | Summarize the following news within 93 words:
At present the practice is used only in adults, but researchers say it should be applied to children too.
Their paper is based on a trial of nearly 1,500 children at 14 intensive care units in England.
The researchers said cutting infections would also save the NHS money.
When patients are admitted to intensive care in hospital a tube, called a line or central venous catheter, is inserted into large veins in the body to deliver drugs, food or fluids.

The visitors were ahead after five minutes when debutant goalkeeper Stuart Moore made a hash of his punch and Will Boyle scored from close range.
Isaac Vassell missed an open goal from five yards for the hosts and Jonathan Smith's header was then cleared off the line by Jack Barthram.
The hosts again came close to a leveller midway through the half as Smith's half-volley went close, while Jordan Cook's wonderful free-kick cannoned against the angle of post and bar.
However, the Robins broke with devastating pace to make it 2-0 on 28 minutes, with Carl Winchester picking out Barthram to fire past Moore.
Luton did reduce the deficit on 41 minutes, Vassell slamming home from inside the box.
Cheltenham had a third on the hour, with Billy Waters on hand to beat Moore and score his 12th of the season.
The Hatters were back in the game once more in the 72nd minute when Liam Davis turned Olly Lee's drilled free-kick into his own net, but the hosts couldn't find an equaliser.

Organisers have announced that the event's poultry competition has been called-off after a vet discovered a case of infectious bronchitis.
A spokeswoman for the show said "birds under suspicion" had been removed but it was with "great regret" it has had to cancel the poultry competition.
Roger Thomas, who had birds that he was showing, said it was "disappointing".
The show, the largest agricultural event in the West country, started on Wednesday and runs until Saturday in Shepton Mallet, Somerset.
Alan Lyons, head of shows, admitted it was disappointing but said there had been a "great day judging on the Wednesday" with "record entries".
"It is very disappointing for the show and all the competitors in the poultry show but we take our bio-security measures very seriously," he said.

Minister for Crime Prevention James Brokenshire wrote to festival organisers asking them to warn people how such substances could be dangerous.
He also said drug laws would be changed so temporary bans could be introduced on "emerging substances" while scientific advice is sought.
Letters were also sent to councils and police forces in festival areas.
Mr Brokenshire said: "During the festival season we know that people may be tempted to try potentially dangerous new drugs, particularly when they are advertised as 'legal' or 'herbal'.
"That is why we are asking festival organisers and police to work with us to send out the message that these substances may not be safe and could contain illegal drugs.
"We are going to change our drug laws so we can respond quickly to emerging substances by introducing a temporary ban while we seek full scientific advice."
Some drugs previously sold as "legal highs" have now been banned, including mephedrone, now a Class B drug.
The Home Office said that the drug naphyrone is branded as NRG1 and sold as "plant food" or "bath salts", but may contain one or more illegal drugs.
The government said it will not permanently ban a substance without receiving full advice from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs.
In the letter sent to festival organisers, Mr Brokenshire said: "As part of your preparations for this year's event I ask you to review the measures you have put in place to ensure that your festival is as safe an environment as possible, to help protect the public, especially young people from the potential harms and risks of all drugs."
The government's advice has been welcomed by Melvin Benn, managing director of Festival Republic, which stages the Latitude, Big Chill and Reading and Leeds Festivals.

He turned the country into one of the most repressive states in the world.
The acting president, Shavkat Mirziyoyev - who has also held on to his position as prime minister - will almost certainly win.
Uzbekistan has never had free and fair elections, and it is common for the incumbent to receive more than 90% of the vote.
Although Mr Mirziyoyev is running for the first time, being acting president gives him access to so-called "administrative resources" - which are often used to guarantee a landslide victory on polling day.
The three other candidates pose little challenge, even though two of them competed during the last election in 2015.
The head of the Senate was supposed to become the interim leader after the death of Mr Karimov. But he opted out in favour of Mr Mirziyoyev - illustrating who holds real power.
The leaders of neighbouring countries have also openly supported Mr Mirziyoyev's candidacy.
Islam Karimov's eldest daughter, Gulnara Karimova, was once among the most powerful people in the country, and regarded as a possible successor to her father.
But she fell from grace several years ago, when US and European authorities launched a corruption probe against her. Uzbekistan's prosecutors also named her in a separate investigation.
In the aftermath, she disappeared from the public eye. Some local media even reported that she has been poisoned and buried in an unmarked grave.
But her son, in a recent interview with the BBC, denied the rumours and claimed that she is still under house arrest in Tashkent.
Islam Karimov Jr told BBC Uzbek that the authorities may try to "eliminate" Ms Karimova by poisoning her.
"They are not interested in freeing her since they will have to answer a lot of questions then," he said.
Local media reports also suggest that the sons-in-law of would-be president Shavkat Mirziyoyev have begun taking over businesses belonging to the family - in this case, from the husband of Karimov's other daughter, Lola Tillayeva-Karimova.
BBC interview: 'Show the world my mum is alive'
To boost his popularity, Shavkat Mirziyoyev has reversed some of the unpopular policies adopted during the rule of Islam Karimov, and has begun improving tense relations with neighbouring countries.
He proposed and signed laws that have a clear populist agenda - on fighting corruption, improving protection of citizens' rights, and simplifying business registration.
He also suggested liberalising currency transactions - one of the most hated policies - as people cannot freely exchange currency in Uzbekistan.
But critics say these changes are just temporary moves to help Mirziyoyev gain legitimacy.
Maintaining the current repressive system would ensure that he stays in power, in the same way Islam Karimov remained as president for nearly three decades.
Once Mr Mirziyoyev fully consolidates power, analysts believe that he will use fear and coercion more openly in order to secure his presidency from any potential rivals.
However, there could still be some economic changes. Uzbekistan wants to attract foreign investment - which would help to ease social discontent.
The peaceful transition since the death of Islam Karimov suggests the political elite have already reached agreement. It is not in their interest to change a system they benefit from.
And one of Mr Mirziyoyev's possible rivals, deputy Prime Minister Rustam Azimov, has kept a low profile in recent months.

Fans ran on to the pitch and scuffles broke out as England celebrated a and Euro 2013 qualification.
Rose, 22, said he was subjected to monkey chants throughout the game, starting in the warm-up.
He told Sky Sports: "I had two stones hit me in the head when I went for a throw-in."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Connor Wickham's 94th-minute goal secured a 2-0 aggregate victory in the second leg of the qualifying play-off.
Sunderland's Rose was sent off after the final whistle for kicking the ball away in reaction to the abuse he was receiving.
Prime Minister David Cameron led the calls for Uefa for to impose "tough sanctions" on racism while sports minister Hugh Robertson has written to Uefa president Michel Platini following "extreme provocation and racism" following Tuesday night's game.
Rose described how the chanting started in the warm-up and gradually got worse as the match went on.
"After 60 minutes my mind wasn't really on the game. I was just so angry and it was so hard to concentrate," he said.
"Then we scored and after 90 minutes' worth of abuse, I expressed my emotions as soon as we scored.
"Next thing I know, all the Serbia players were surrounding me, pushing me. I remember getting slapped twice. I got ushered away and that's when I kicked the ball - and then the referee sent me off.
"I don't understand - the game had finished. And then there was more monkey chanting. They should be banned."
The Football Association reported "a number" of racist incidents to Uefa.
England defender Nedum Onuoha was racially abused during the 2007 Under-21 European Championship game against Serbia in the Netherlands, for which Serbia were fined £16,000 by Uefa.
Professional Footballers' Association chairman Clarke Carlisle said Serbia should received a "significant" international ban, adding that it was "farcical" that Rose was sent off for reacting to being racially abused.
"Serbia should be banned because it's a repeat offence," he told BBC 5 Radio live.
"Banning them for a start, from any tournament, would be progress but I think if it's significant - if it's a couple of tournaments - then that would cause that nation to address the issue that has deprived them of international competition."
PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor said: "The PFA condemns the appalling racist abuse endured by our Under-21 team in Serbia which evoked memories of scenes we all hoped had been consigned to the past.

Sunderland's chief executive Margaret Byrne said: "The scenes in Serbia last night shocked everyone and Sunderland Football Club wholeheartedly backs the Football Association's stance on the matter."
Reading striker Jason Roberts told BBC Radio 5 live: "Uefa have shown they have no stomach for this battle. They haven't taken this on in the past; I doubt they will now.
"It's time for players to take action and that's why I've said they should walk off the pitch because, guaranteed, if that happens things will change."

"This is Uefa's chance to show the world and take a strong stance against discrimination. We hope that Uefa will take a strong stand and instigate a full investigation."

Connor Wickham's 94th-minute goal secured a 2-0 aggregate victory in the second leg of the qualifying play-off.
Sunderland's Rose was sent off after the final whistle for kicking the ball away in reaction to the abuse he was receiving.
Prime Minister David Cameron led the calls for Uefa for to impose "tough sanctions" on racism while sports minister Hugh Robertson has written to Uefa president Michel Platini following "extreme provocation and racism" following Tuesday night's game.
Rose described how the chanting started in the warm-up and gradually got worse as the match went on.
"After 60 minutes my mind wasn't really on the game. I was just so angry and it was so hard to concentrate," he said.
"Then we scored and after 90 minutes' worth of abuse, I expressed my emotions as soon as we scored.
"Next thing I know, all the Serbia players were surrounding me, pushing me. I remember getting slapped twice. I got ushered away and that's when I kicked the ball - and then the referee sent me off.
"I don't understand - the game had finished. And then there was more monkey chanting. They should be banned."
The Football Association reported "a number" of racist incidents to Uefa.
England defender Nedum Onuoha was racially abused during the 2007 Under-21 European Championship game against Serbia in the Netherlands, for which Serbia were fined £16,000 by Uefa.
Professional Footballers' Association chairman Clarke Carlisle said Serbia should received a "significant" international ban, adding that it was "farcical" that Rose was sent off for reacting to being racially abused.
"Serbia should be banned because it's a repeat offence," he told BBC 5 Radio live.
"Banning them for a start, from any tournament, would be progress but I think if it's significant - if it's a couple of tournaments - then that would cause that nation to address the issue that has deprived them of international competition."
PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor said: "The PFA condemns the appalling racist abuse endured by our Under-21 team in Serbia which evoked memories of scenes we all hoped had been consigned to the past.
"Fifa and Uefa need to get tough and deduct points or disqualify teams from competitions."

The cromlech built in Langemark, Belgium, has marked the 100th anniversary of the war's outbreak.
It followed years of campaigning by those who wanted a permanent dedication to the fallen.
It is estimated 40,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen from Wales died during the 1914 to 1918 war.
Langemark was at the heart of battle in 1917 as the Welsh advanced through the village on the first day of the Battle of Passchendaele.
Peter Carter Jones, co-ordinator of the Welsh Memorial in Flanders Campaign Group, told the service: "At a chance meeting on 2010 I learned there was no single welsh memorial for all the Welsh fallen.
"We wanted to change that. "This memorial's artist is from Tenby, the stones from Pontypridd and the dragon was made in north Wales. Every bit of it is Welsh.
"People not born yet will come here to remember the dreadful history this memorial represents. We will not forget them."
Fellow co-ordinator Erwin Ureel added: "The idea of a dragon memorial is easy, the hatching of that dragon takes much longer.
"The dragon you see before you is a fitting memorial to the battles fought here."
The monument is made of four Welsh blue pennant stones transported from Craig yr Hesg quarry, Pontypridd, and surmounted by a red bronze dragon, designed by artist Lee Odishow.
The sounding of the Last Post signalled the start of a minute silence. Heads bowed, there is no sound from the site, except for the birds
Falklands veteran Simon Weston who earlier said it was "very humbling" to be part of the ceremony, read The Kohima Epitaph before the Welsh flag was raised by army cadets.
Minister president of the Flemish government, Geert Bourgeois, said he is proud local people played a part in making the memorial a reality.
He added: "Although we have escaped war for 70 years now, we must never forget how fast things can change."
First Minister Carwyn Jones told the service: "This memorial is the result of many years of hard work by dedicated individuals both in Flanders and of course in Wales.
"Indeed the appeal has caught the imagination of people around the world and this impressive sculpture demonstrates the importance with which we, in Wales together with our partners in Flanders hold the memory of those who sacrificed their lives a century ago."

From the outset this could be any other European town. With its neat cobbled streets, beautiful buildings and quaint village-feel you could be forgiven for forgetting the horrors that happened in Ypres, Flanders, during the Great War.
But the town has not forgotten. There are museums dedicated to the Great War, plaques marking the sacrifice of the many countries which fought here, while cemeteries are dotted around the area marking the place where soldiers fell.
In the town centre the imposing Menin Gate serves as a memorial for those whose bodies were not recovered.
Every night at 20:00 hundreds of people gather to hear the sounding of the Last Post. Families and veterans, locals and visitors stand silent, craning their necks to get a glimpse of the ceremony which takes place under the iconic archway, and to pay their respects.
Among those killed at Passchendaele, was the poet Hedd Wyn, who was honoured with a posthumous chair at the 1917 National Eisteddfod.
Meurig Rees, who has travelled from Wales for the service, said: "There are memorials here in Flanders for many nations that fought in the First World War.
"There's one in France for the Welsh soldiers of Mametz, but I know that the campaign has been long running and the people of Flanders here thought it was important."
Marc Decaestecker, from Belgium, added: "It means a lot to me because the Welsh in 1917, they liberated us.
"They fought very heavy and that's why we want to do this."

A trailer featuring the number 13 in different locations was aired during the tennis on BBC One on Friday.
It finished with the caption: "Meet the 13th Doctor after the Wimbledon men's final, Sunday 16th July."
The actor will succeed Peter Capaldi who took the role in 2013 and will leave in the 2017 Christmas special.
Capaldi made the announcement during an interview with BBC Radio 2 presenter Jo Whiley in January.
The Glasgow-born star said: "I feel it's time to move on. I feel sad, I love Doctor Who, it is a fantastic programme to work on."
The locations in the trailer included 10 Downing Street, Beachy Head cliffs and the Statue of Liberty.

Robert Beck was shopping with his wife in the US state of Pennsylvania when they heard the commotion, he told the York Daily Record.
"Man, there's someone in here with a frickin' gun," Mr Beck, 45, recalled thinking after hearing a loud bang.
"When I seen it, it was game-on," said Mr Beck, who raises deer for meat.
When he spotted the doe running into the bakery section on Monday night, he trailed after it, then grabbed it by the neck and began leading it towards the door.
But it was spooked when it saw other customers, the newspaper reports, and kicked Mr Beck in the ribs, knocking him down.
"I think she was scared from all those people," Mr Beck said. "She was like, 'Oh my God, what the heck did I get myself into?'"
Two other shoppers, including another hunter, then came to help escort the deer back out of the front door.
Local police praised Mr Beck's response, but cautioned against the public getting involved with wild animals.
"There is too much risk of injury to the citizen," Northeastern Regional Police Chief Bryan Rizzo said.
"If the citizen is an experienced hunter or someone with experiencing wildlife then I would say they should use their own judgment," Mr Rizzo added.
"In this case, it was a hunter who had experience in handling live deer, and we are grateful for his intervention and quick thinking in getting the deer under control before the animal could injure anyone, itself or do more damage."
Mr Beck says that he raises 16 deer, which he uses for meat, and keeps them penned at home.

Their studies on survivors in Liberia showed large numbers had developed weakness, memory loss and depressive symptoms in the six months after being discharged from an Ebola unit.
Other patients were "actively suicidal" or still having hallucinations.
More than 17,000 people in West Africa have survived Ebola infection.
The evidence, being presented at the annual meeting of the Academy of Neurology, is an early glimpse at a much wider study of long-term health problems after Ebola.
The initial analysis, on 82 survivors, showed most had had severe neurological problems at the height of the infection, including meningitis, hallucinations or falling into a coma.
Six months later, new long-term problems had developed.
About two-thirds had body weakness, while regular headaches, depressive symptoms and memory loss were found in half of patients.
Two of the patients had been actively suicidal at the time of the assessment.
Dr Lauren Bowen, from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, told the BBC: "It was pretty striking, this is a young population of patients, and we wouldn't expect to have seen these sorts of problems.

"Ebola hasn't gone away for these people."
Infection with Ebola ravages the body. Some of the symptoms could improve with time as the body heals, others may be down to social trauma as many survivors are ostracised from their families and communities.
But other symptoms, including eye problems, indicate damage to the brain, which may not heal.
Meanwhile, data presented earlier, at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, raised concerns about sexual transmission of the virus in survivors.
It indicated 38% of men had tested positive for Ebola in their semen on at least one occasion in the year after recovering.
And in the most extreme case, Ebola had been detected 18 months later.
Yet most survivors reported being sexually active, with only four in every 100 using a condom. | Most people who survive an Ebola infection will have long-lasting health problems, say doctors from the US National Institutes of Health. | 35652095 | Summarize the following news within 85 words:
Their studies on survivors in Liberia showed large numbers had developed weakness, memory loss and depressive symptoms in the six months after being discharged from an Ebola unit.
Other patients were "actively suicidal" or still having hallucinations.
More than 17,000 people in West Africa have survived Ebola infection.
The evidence, being presented at the annual meeting of the Academy of Neurology, is an early glimpse at a much wider study of long-term health problems after Ebola.
The initial analysis, on 82 survivors, showed most had had severe neurological problems at the height of the infection, including meningitis, hallucinations or falling into a coma.
Six months later, new long-term problems had developed.
About two-thirds had body weakness, while regular headaches, depressive symptoms and memory loss were found in half of patients.
Two of the patients had been actively suicidal at the time of the assessment.
Dr Lauren Bowen, from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, told the BBC: "It was pretty striking, this is a young population of patients, and we wouldn't expect to have seen these sorts of problems.

The confirmation of the timetable comes hours after four French soldiers were killed and five others wounded.
The Taliban said one of their suicide bombers carried out the attack on a Nato convoy in Kapisa province.
Withdrawing French troops by the end of 2012 had been one of Mr Hollande's election pledges.
The date means that French forces will leave the country two years before the main Nato pullout.
Violence has risen across the country in recent weeks, with the Taliban targeting both the Afghan forces and the 130,000 foreign troops remaining in the country.
Afghan officials said the bomber in Saturday's attack approached a French Nato convoy wearing a burka.
Several Afghan civilians were also wounded in the attack.
Mr Hollande said in a statement that a "national tribute" would be paid to the soldiers.
Until the pullout is completed, "everything must be done for our troops to meet their obligations but with... the greatest vigilance for the lives of the soldiers," he added.
France is currently the fifth largest contributor to Nato's Isaf force, with nearly 3,300 soldiers.
The deaths bring to 87 the total number of French fatalities in the country since 2001.
In January the killing of four French soldiers in Kapisa prompted then-President Nicolas Sarkozy to announce a withdrawal by the end of 2013.

Mr Deby took power in a coup in 1990 and later introduced elections.
A referendum in 2005 scrapped a clause restricting presidents to two terms, but Mr Deby said that if he gets re-elected he will reinstate it.
In the last year, Burundi, Rwanda and Congo-Brazzaville have all changed their constitutions to allow their presidents to run for office again.
Africa Live: BBC news updates
Mr Deby said on Tuesday that reinstating term limits would provide "vitality" to the democracy.
"We must limit terms, we must not concentrate on a system in which a change in power becomes difficult," he told the ruling party.

Huw Lewis has set out new guidelines for universities who want to train new teachers in future as part of sweeping reform to the system.
In a speech in Cardiff, he announced a new two-year postgraduate course and greater subject specialism for primary school teachers.
Mr Lewis has already unveiled plans to extend education degrees to four years.
He eventually wants all teachers to be educated to masters level.
At the moment some universities work together in three teacher training centres in Wales.
But Mr Lewis said he had an open mind and universities outside Wales could end up training students.
New guidelines to "transform" the system follow an independent review in 2015 which found quality had "deteriorated".
Mr Lewis said it was his last major speaking event as minister "but the agenda does not stop" and was "vital".
"We will have a new teaching training system which is of such high quality and unquestioned rigour that it gives individuals a reason, in and of itself, for the very best people to get into teaching in the first place," he added.
Mr Lewis said teachers also wanted more professional support and challenge.
He said: "I have been clear that we must do more to accelerate improvement in initial teacher education provision across Wales.
"This is particularly important as we continue with our programme of radical education reform, focused on driving up standards across the board."
The 2015 review of teacher training coincided with a wide-ranging report into education in Wales.
Work to alter the curriculum is now under way after the government accepted the recommendations made by the Donaldson review, which will see computer programming and IT become as central to classroom teaching as literacy and numeracy.
The review recommended having six areas of learning and replacing the key stage system with a more seamless progression through school.
It is expected to be rolled out from 2021.
Geraint Davies of the NAS/UWT union gave a cautious welcome to the proposals and said he "fully appreciated the education system of the future will need student teachers of the highest possible calibre".
But he said future Welsh governments must ensure that the profession was an "attractive proposition for those students".
Conservative Shadow Education Minister Angela Burns said the proposals did not go far enough.

Twenty-two people were killed when Salman Abedi detonated a suicide bomb after a pop concert on 22 May.
Lord Kerslake, the ex-head of the civil service, said those affected would have insights "that won't necessarily be available to the emergency services".
An interim report should be complete by Christmas, he added.
Speaking to Radio 5 live, he said the review - on behalf of Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham - would not look into whether the attack after an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena could have been prevented.
"That's a separate thing... we are focusing very much on the preparedness of Greater Manchester for such attacks and their response in the period, the week-and-a-half or so in which they had to respond.
"The issue of whether it could have been prevented is a different review process."

Raikkonen was left annoyed after he led the early laps from pole but Vettel passed him by using a later pit stop.
A Ferrari spokesman said: "The drivers are free to race. There was no plan whatsoever to get Sebastian ahead."
Vettel said: "There was no plan of any team orders. I can understand Kimi is not happy. I would feel the same."
Vettel went into the race leading Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton in the championship by six points and came out of it with a 25-point lead - a clear race victory - when the Briton could finish only seventh after starting 13th.
Raikkonen pitted five laps before Vettel and came out behind slower cars, which he had to pass. Meanwhile, on a clear track, Vettel began setting fastest times and by the time he stopped he had made up enough time to emerge in the lead.
Ferrari said that Raikkonen ran on a pre-planned strategy to stop around lap 34 and said that although they knew he would come out among slower cars, it was inevitable that would happen at some point.
Raikkonen said: "I was called in, and that's about it. It didn't work out very well for me, but apart from that, it doesn't matter, does it?
"That's as much as I can say about it right now. I got the bad end of the story today. It is still second place but obviously it doesn't count a lot in my book at least."
Asked whether he knew why Ferrari had called him in at that time, he said: "I have no idea. They have reasons for why they do what they do. It is not up to me."
He said he would be asking the team to explain the decisions to him.
"We are a team and if you don't believe what you have been told then it will get very complicated at some point," Raikkonen said.
"Today, as a team, we wanted one-two. It happened. As for myself, it could have been better but we have just finished the race and who knows?
"We'll talk about it and I guess there are some reasons for everything that happened. As a driver I can do what I want but it is not how we work as a team."
Vettel, widely believed to be Ferrari's contractual number one driver, was asked if he and the team had discussed whether they would try to use an opportunity to get him ahead of Raikkonen if one arose.
He replied: "Not really. We spoke about the race before. The lead car normally has priority.
"If I had the choice, going in the pits first is maybe what you like to do.
"It is one of the rare occasions when the overcut [stopping after a driver you are following] decides the position, but from the team point of view there was no plan of any team orders.

The spacecraft, which takes visible and infrared pictures of the Earth, was launched in June and is now undergoing a period of commissioning.
The observer is the second dedicated mission to fly in the European Union's Copernicus programme.
This will see a multi-billion-euro series of satellite sensors put in orbit over the next few years.
Sentinel-2a, however, will be the system's backbone, producing a wide range of imaging products that will focus predominantly on the planet's land surface.
The European Space Agency, which led the development of the platform, released a taster on Monday of what to expect.
These views ranged from cities and forests to glaciers and coral reefs.
"They are stunning," said mission manager Bianca Hoersch.
"Okay, we still have some calibration work to do, on co-registration between visible and shortwave infrared bands, but I think you can see just from this release that the quality is going to be really excellent."
Sentinel-2a is the European equivalent of America's Landsat mission, which has been imaging the surface of the Earth for 40 years.
The US satellite's data is free and open, which has driven a multitude of applications. Most people will probably know it best from the map tools they use on their computers and smartphones. These all incorporate Landsat pictures.
Sentinel's data has been designed to be complementary, but the platform also represents a big jump in capability.
Its imaging instrument will be sensitive across more bands of light (13 versus Landsat's eight), allowing it to discern more information about the land beneath it; and Sentinel-2a will "carpet map" a much wider strip of ground (290km versus 185km).
In addition, its colour images have a best resolution of 10m, versus Landsat's 30m.
Given that today, non-specialist use of Earth imagery overwhelmingly relies on Landsat data, it is more than probable that Sentinel products will be in big demand.
The European Commission will be using Sentinel pictures in its Copernicus programme to run variety of services, reaching across agriculture and forestry, urban planning and disaster mitigation.
Agriculture, though, is certain to be a big user. The satellite's camera sensor has been designed to detect very specific wavelengths of light that detail the health of plants.
In normal operation, Sentinel-2a will be producing 1.7 terabytes of processed data per day. And this will double when the sister satellite, Sentinel-2b, is launched next year.
"The data volume is incredible," Dr Hoersch told BBC News.
"Of course, we all knew it would be like this, but when you sit there with your computer and try to download it, it's massive - gigabytes of data. I had to go out at the weekend and buy a hard disk to store all these products for my presentations."
Esa will launch Sentinel-3a at the end of 2015. This satellite is dedicated to observing the oceans.

Its imaging instrument will be sensitive across more bands of light (13 versus Landsat's eight), allowing it to discern more information about the land beneath it; and Sentinel-2a will "carpet map" a much wider strip of ground (290km versus 185km).
In addition, its colour images have a best resolution of 10m, versus Landsat's 30m.
Given that today, non-specialist use of Earth imagery overwhelmingly relies on Landsat data, it is more than probable that Sentinel products will be in big demand.
The European Commission will be using Sentinel pictures in its Copernicus programme to run variety of services, reaching across agriculture and forestry, urban planning and disaster mitigation.
Agriculture, though, is certain to be a big user. The satellite's camera sensor has been designed to detect very specific wavelengths of light that detail the health of plants.
In normal operation, Sentinel-2a will be producing 1.7 terabytes of processed data per day. And this will double when the sister satellite, Sentinel-2b, is launched next year.
"The data volume is incredible," Dr Hoersch told BBC News.
"Of course, we all knew it would be like this, but when you sit there with your computer and try to download it, it's massive - gigabytes of data. I had to go out at the weekend and buy a hard disk to store all these products for my presentations."
Esa will launch Sentinel-3a at the end of 2015. This satellite is dedicated to observing the oceans.

The average rent stands at £774 in England and Wales, according to data from Your Move and Reeds Rains.
It said that rental costs had risen by 0.8% in April compared with March.
Adrian Gill, LSL director, said: "Momentum is fuelled by a fundamental shortage of housing and given oxygen by renewed wage growth."
The latest official figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) suggested that the cost of renting a home from a private landlord in Britain rose by 2.1% in the year to the end of March.
Campbell Robb, chief executive of housing charity Shelter, said: "Our housing shortage has been decades in the making, and only bold and immediate action can fix it.

The Fawlty Towers and Monty Python star was quoted in a magazine interview last year as saying "there's no way I want to work in TV, especially at the BBC".
In recent years, the 74-year-old British actor has mainly concentrated on voiceover roles.
But BBC comedy head Shane Allen told the Daily Telegraph Cleese is a "comedy god, and the door is always open".
"We're in discussions about a piece that he might be in. It's a sitcom and it's very early days," Mr Allen said.
Cleese, who appeared on the big screen in A Fish Called Wanda and two Harry Potter films, did take on small appearances in US TV sitcoms Whitney and Entourage between 2010 and 2013.
He also reunited with his Monty Python co-stars in 2013 for live shows to pay an £800,000 legal bill after losing a royalties case. And following his divorce from third wife Alyce Eichelberger in 2008, he performed in a comedy show dubbed the Alimony Tour.
In last year's interview with Shortlist magazine, Cleese said he felt the BBC's commissioning editors had "no idea" what they were doing.
He also said he had been offered "cliched" roles by ITV.
Referring to Cleese's possible BBC sitcom return, Mr Allen told the Telegraph: "There are certain people who have earned their badges, who have got the right to do what they want."
He was speaking to the Telegraph before the first episode airs on Sunday in the BBC's "landmark sitcom series".
The series features modern remakes of Are You Being Served?, Porridge, Till Death Us Do Part, Steptoe and Son, and Up Pompeii!
Mr Allen said it was "insulting" to suggest the BBC's new comedies were not as good as the past but added: "This is a chance to try to reclaim that and say these are titles and writers and pieces of work that are proven, and hallowed, and it's a chance to introduce them to a new generation."

In the ruined village of Arquata del Tronto, a group of bloggers has gone in search of its destroyed history, posting findings on a Facebook page called Chiedi alla polvere (Ask The Dust).
"Ask the dust" is an old saying that usually refers to something unknowable. But here, some young residents want to give the dust a voice.
Time in the hilltop village of Arquata del Tronto did not just stop during the quake, which struck in the night at 03:36 (01:36 GMT), it disintegrated: the shock wrenched the minute hand from the village clock.
Visits to the no-go "red zones" are brief and hazardous, and firefighters bark you back on to the road if you start down an alley or peer too closely into a ruined house.
But the dust stays with you. A fine white coating that clings to your boots.
From a tent in an aid camp in Arquata's lower village, the bloggers post old photos of the village and its surroundings, stories and reflections, news about the relief effort, blogging in Italian and English.
One entry shows a child's drawing of an idyllic little house with a horse and a hen - next to a photo of a ruin.
"I thought I was at my house," it begins. "There where nothing bad that could happen. My refuge, my every day, my bed, my beloved couch where I spent entire afternoons in winter watching movies."
"Unfortunately," the post ends, it became "that part of TV that every time I hate to see" - the TV news. "My couch is gone."
When Gaia Paolini, 18, comes home from her school in Ascoli Piceno she spends time with her childhood friends curating the blog. She is one of the lucky ones whose home survived the quake.
"We put our emotions, all our story, the story of the village, into the page," she says.
"We are trying to preserve the memory of this place and also trying to preserve its future after the construction of new buildings that we hope can be made soon."
The blog records the support that the village has received, from the aid effort co-ordinated by the government to the concerts played by visiting musicians in the canteen tent, which is also used for church services.
"We have so much help from local people and people all over Italy and it is so beautiful," Gaia says.
Another website translates a poem from before the quake about Pescara del Tronto, a hamlet near Arquata that suffered even greater damage: 48 people died there, including 12 tourists.
"Pescara sweet notes
Of water,
Pescara of rocks and labours
Stories of fathers
Ancient Tales,
Pescara of houses
Cling to each other
Like sisters or friends.
Pescara perfume
From childhood and memories
Walls of stone
Warm sunsets."
The poem, written by someone called Eidi, comes from Pescara's website, which has become a virtual time capsule for the pre-quake days when holidaymakers headed there for the mountain air and tranquillity.
One day the tourists will return to the Tronto Valley and its ruined villages will be rebuilt.

But US President Donald Trump appears to be laying claim to the phrase for himself.
In an interview with The Economist published on Thursday, he used the metaphor to describe his hopes for tax reform.
Then he asked: "Have you heard that expression used before? Because I haven't heard it. I mean, I just… I came up with it a couple of days ago and I thought it was good. It's what you have to do."
His claim immediately raised eyebrows.
Or, as The New York Observer put it: "The Entire Internet Is Trolling President Trump Over 'Priming the Pump."
Far from being a Trump-coined neologism, priming the pump has a long history in economic theory and was in widespread use by the 1930s.
It's most often associated with John Maynard Keynes, the influential British economist who urged public spending to stimulate a weak economy.
Newspapers also made the comparison during the presidency of Herbert Hoover, who was in office during the Wall Street Crash.
Early Thursday morning, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary Twitter account struck back, noting: "'Pump priming' has been used to refer to government investment expenditures since at least 1933."
The Oxford English Dictionary identifies the phrase used in a business context even earlier, quoting a 1916 edition of Everybody's Mag: "When the waters of business are stagnant, gentlemen, it becomes necessary, if I may say so, to prime the pump."
The White House press office did not respond to an email seeking clarification on Mr Trump's comments.

Roy Burke said the expiry of an agreement with Dutch company Verweij and Partners meant no-one now had exclusive rights to work on the site.
The company had originally pledged to start redeveloping Fort Tourgis by the end of 2012.

Mr Burke said: "Verweij and Partners no longer have exclusivity on Fort Tourgis... nobody has the right to build or develop Fort Tourgis."
He added: "If they come along with plans tomorrow, the States of Alderney would have to relook at those plans and decide whether or not they want to proceed with that development."
Verweij and Partners entered into negotiations with the States of Alderney in 2007.
The company submitted plans for a resort, which would include spa facilities and 50-70 bedrooms.
Mr Burke said any development would need to involve much work to the inside of the fort, due to the fact that many of the floors have rotted and collapsed.
He said: "Virtually all the original features will have to stay.

The rebel, known as Roman Ruiz, led the 18th division of the Farc, which operates in north-west Colombia.
The bombing was the latest in a series of attacks on the Farc by Colombian security forces.
The two sides are holding peace talks but have not agreed a ceasefire.
The Colombian air force said it bombed a rebel position near the town of Riosucio in north-western Choco province on Monday.
Sources in the security forces later told local media that among those killed in the raid was Alfredo Alarcon Machado, better known by his alias, Roman Ruiz.
However, Ruiz has been reported killed once before.
Last year, sources in the security forces announced he had been killed, only for the head of the police to deny it later.
Ruiz is believed to be the right-hand man of Pastor Alape, who is part of the Farc team negotiating with the Colombian government at peace talks in the Cuban capital, Havana.
About 40 Farc rebels have been killed since the security forces resumed their bombing raids.
President Juan Manuel Santos gave the order for the resumption after 11 soldiers were killed on 15 April in a Farc ambush in south-western Cauca province.
The attack on the soldiers caused outrage in Colombia, with many questioning the rebels' commitment to the peace talks.
The Farc had declared a unilateral ceasefire in December as a sign of its commitment to the talks.
It argued the ambush in Cauca had been a "defensive measure" taken by its rebels as they came under pressure from the security forces.
When the peace talks officially began in November 2012, President Juan Manuel Santos ruled out a ceasefire, arguing that the guerrilla had used them during previous negotiations to re-group and re-arm.
In March of this year, he did however order the suspension of bombing raids.
The peace talks have been going on for two and a half years during which the two sides have so far reached agreement on three topics on their five-point agenda.
An estimated 220,000 people have died in a half century of armed conflict in Colombia.
November 2012 - Formal peace talks begin in the Cuban capital Havana between the Colombian government and the Farc.
May 2013 - A deal is reached on land reform, one of the most contentious issues. It calls for fair access to land, and rural development, two key causes of the conflict.

The OBR had previously forecast that the economy would grow 2.4% this year, but is now predicting a rate of 2.0%.
Chancellor George Osborne said the cuts had been due to a reduction in the OBR's forecasts of productivity.
The amount the government is expected to have to borrow this year has fallen, but it has gone up for the next three.
However, the chancellor confirmed that he was still on-track to meet his target of having a budget surplus by 2019-20.
Under the OBR's new forecast, the estimate for economic growth in 2017 has been cut to 2.2% from 2.5%, and to 2.1% from 2.4% in 2018. Growth in both 2019 and 2020 is now estimated at 2.1% compared with the previous forecast of 2.3%.
The OBR also said the cut to growth forecasts was due to less growth being expected elsewhere in the world.
"In the short time since our November forecast, economic developments have disappointed and the outlook for the economy and the public finances looks materially weaker," it said.
At a news conference, OBR head Robert Chote said that productivity growth in the last three months of 2015 had been considerably worse than expected, wiping out gains made earlier in the year and making the OBR question whether UK productivity was likely to recover to pre-crisis levels.
"With the period of weak productivity growth post-crisis continuing to lengthen, we have placed more weight on that as a guide to future prospects - although this judgement remains highly uncertain," the OBR said.
The OBR unexpectedly reduced the amount it expects the government to borrow in the current financial year from £73.5bn to £72.2bn.
In the first 10 months of the financial year, the government has already borrowed £66.5bn, so many commentators predicted that the forecast would have to be raised.
The OBR said it had cut the forecast because it was expecting smaller contributions to the EU in the next two months because more of the 2016 contributions would be paid in the next financial year.
In addition, it predicted lower borrowing by housing associations, lower spending on tax credits and a smaller-than-expected take-up of married couples' tax allowance.
However, the OBR warned that the fall it expected "may not be reflected fully in the initial outturn data due in April".
It explained that this was because spending by local authorities tends to take longer to come into the Office for National Statistics, which is also not yet used to calculating figures for housing associations who have only recently been included in public sector debt figures.
The borrowing forecasts for the following three years have been increased considerably, although the OBR still expects the government to achieve a surplus in 2019-20 and 2020-21, in line with its supplementary target on the deficit.
Mr Chote said that if no measures had been taken in this Budget then the government would have had to borrow £3bn in 2019-20, but he added that Mr Osborne had met "the letter of the mandate" by "shuffling" receipts into that year and spending out.
On the total amount of government debt (as opposed to the amount borrowed in a single year) the chancellor admitted that the figure as a proportion of GDP would be higher than it was last year as a result of lower GDP, but that the total amount owed would actually be £9bn lower.
So, in the current financial year, total debt is expected to be 83.7% of GDP, up from 83.3% in 2014-15.
Mr Chote referred back to the £27bn that the chancellor was given by changes to the borrowing forecasts in November. He said that in this Budget, there would be £56.3bn less to spend for much the same reason.
"The sofa swallowed £2 this time for every £1 it yielded last time," he commented.
He also said that excessive optimism about the amount of money that could be saved by welfare changes was an ongoing problem.
The OBR says the government is going to breach its own welfare cap in every remaining year of this Parliament.
Forecasts by the OBR in November indicated that spending on benefits would be within the cap towards the end of the Parliament.
But their updated analysis today says spending will "exceed the permitted amount in every year, and by a larger margin than in November."
The additional spending is mainly caused by more people than expected being eligible for disability benefits.
The predicted increase comes despite changes to one disability benefit, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), announced last week. The tighter rules are expected to see 290,000 fewer people being eligible for PIP with a further 80,000 getting a lower award. The OBR estimate the measure will save £1.3bn in 2019-20 and 2020-21.
Despite the increased costs, by 2020-21, the percentage of GDP spend on welfare will be at its lowest level in 30 years according to the OBR. | The UK economy will grow more slowly in the next five years than had been expected in November, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has said. | 35822365 | Summarize the following news within 200 words:
The OBR had previously forecast that the economy would grow 2.4% this year, but is now predicting a rate of 2.0%.
Chancellor George Osborne said the cuts had been due to a reduction in the OBR's forecasts of productivity.
The amount the government is expected to have to borrow this year has fallen, but it has gone up for the next three.
However, the chancellor confirmed that he was still on-track to meet his target of having a budget surplus by 2019-20.
Under the OBR's new forecast, the estimate for economic growth in 2017 has been cut to 2.2% from 2.5%, and to 2.1% from 2.4% in 2018. Growth in both 2019 and 2020 is now estimated at 2.1% compared with the previous forecast of 2.3%.
The OBR also said the cut to growth forecasts was due to less growth being expected elsewhere in the world.
"In the short time since our November forecast, economic developments have disappointed and the outlook for the economy and the public finances looks materially weaker," it said.
At a news conference, OBR head Robert Chote said that productivity growth in the last three months of 2015 had been considerably worse than expected, wiping out gains made earlier in the year and making the OBR question whether UK productivity was likely to recover to pre-crisis levels.
"With the period of weak productivity growth post-crisis continuing to lengthen, we have placed more weight on that as a guide to future prospects - although this judgement remains highly uncertain," the OBR said.
The OBR unexpectedly reduced the amount it expects the government to borrow in the current financial year from £73.5bn to £72.2bn.
In the first 10 months of the financial year, the government has already borrowed £66.5bn, so many commentators predicted that the forecast would have to be raised.
The OBR said it had cut the forecast because it was expecting smaller contributions to the EU in the next two months because more of the 2016 contributions would be paid in the next financial year.
In addition, it predicted lower borrowing by housing associations, lower spending on tax credits and a smaller-than-expected take-up of married couples' tax allowance.
However, the OBR warned that the fall it expected "may not be reflected fully in the initial outturn data due in April".
It explained that this was because spending by local authorities tends to take longer to come into the Office for National Statistics, which is also not yet used to calculating figures for housing associations who have only recently been included in public sector debt figures.
The borrowing forecasts for the following three years have been increased considerably, although the OBR still expects the government to achieve a surplus in 2019-20 and 2020-21, in line with its supplementary target on the deficit.

World number three McIlroy has missed the cut at his home event for the last three years and has recorded just two top-10 finishes in nine attempts.
"My performances haven't been what I'd want but it's a tournament I would love to win one day," said the 27-year-old.
"I feel like my game is in good enough shape to do that."
The Northern Irishman, who is tournament host for the second year, recorded his best result in 2008, when he finished seventh in his first full year as a professional.
That came two years after he watched the final day of the 2006 Ryder Cup on the course as a 17-year-old spectator.
But, despite being frustrated at failing to turn good performances into a victory so far in 2016, McIlroy thinks he can contend for the title.
"The Irish Open always was, but even more so now, one of the most important weeks of the year for me," said the four-time major winner.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I'm coming off a couple of decent weeks in the States where I felt I played better than the results suggested, and the K Club is a course I feel I can do well on.
"It would be huge [to win]. Anyone that plays professional golf, they dream of winning their home open. You don't get many opportunities so it would be very special. It's one tournament that is missing from my CV."
Asked if he could pinpoint why he had not performed well in Ireland, McIlroy said: "No, not really. Maybe the pressure of playing at home - we don't play at home often - and maybe trying too hard or putting too much pressure on myself.
"There were obviously reasons I wanted to get involved in this tournament. I wanted to contribute something, where coming to the Irish Open was becoming more of a burden instead of something I relished and enjoyed.
"Being able to get involved and not just play for myself, but play for and help other people, I enjoy that part of it.
"I want to help out. I want to make this one of the best tournaments in the world and we've made a few good strides towards doing that."
McIlroy believes he learnt a lot from acting as tournament host last year, when he slumped to an opening round of 80 and missed the cut at Royal County Down, but was on hand to present the trophy to eventual champion Soren Kjeldsen.
"There were times where I spread myself too thin last year with a lot of commitments and we've tried to scale that back this year," he added. | Rory McIlroy is confident he can improve on his poor record in the Irish Open when he competes at this week's event at the K Club in County Kildare. | 36327521 | Summarize the following news within 111 words:

The Glasgow number 10 has played just 12 minutes of the championship, coming off the bench in the defeat by Wales.
But in the absence of the injured Finn Russell, he has been preferred to Peter Horne, who impressed against France.
"It's tough on him not being selected but it's an opportunity for me," said Weir, who wins his 23rd cap in Dublin.
"The coaches have given me confidence this week. They have watched my Glasgow footage and are happy where I am and my development over the last month or so.
"I feel confident in my game at the minute and just need to back it up come Saturday.
"It is a huge honour getting back into the side. I have been here training, so I know the calls and structures, so it is not being thrown in to the deep end as I have been here throughout the championship."
With Russell still going through concussion return-to-play protocols after receiving a head knock five minutes into the France game, Cotter had the option of continuing with Horne - who he called "probably a 12-10 rather than a 10-12" - after he stepped into the fray with aplomb.
"I was just hugely proud of his performance," Weir said of his Glasgow team-mate. "A guy who has not run a rep pretty much the whole tournament at 10 steps up and shows how natural a ball player he is.
"It was great for me to go on and see him run the attack. Being a playmaker at 12, he is always chatting and orchestrating play anyway."
Having played second fiddle to Russell at club level as well as with the national team, being left out of the match-day 23 for the last two Tests against Italy and France has allowed Weir more game time with Glasgow.
He duly delivered two Pro 12 man-of-the-match displays against Newport Gwent Dragons and Cardiff Blues.
"I have been getting a run of games so I feel confident in my form," he added. "Moving onto the ball you have to make better decisions when you have a run of games going. I feel really excited about the opportunity."
Weir will be tasked with directing an attack - featuring Glasgow team-mates Stuart Hogg, Tommy Seymour and Alex Dunbar - that has produced eight tries so far, only one less than Scotland's best Six Nations tally of nine in 2000.
But he is under no illusions that the keys to a third straight victory, which would match Scotland's best-ever Six Nations tally and likely equal their joint-best finish of third, may lie elsewhere.
"Our defence and set-piece will be huge again," he added.
"That will be at the front of our minds. Ireland are playing with a lot of width in their attack so we have to be cautious of that and get our spacing right in defence and shut things down and not be too aggressive at times.

Bribes of between $1,000 - $5,000 (£800; £4,000) have been paid, Gen Nur Farah Jimale said.
The BBC has also learned that some candidates have been offering bribes of up to $1.3m (£1m) to secure votes.

Much of the country is still under the control of Islamist militant group al-Shabab, which is affiliated to al-Qaeda.

The University of Alabama and the sheriff's office mishandled Megan Rondini's case, her parents say.
Ms Rondini, then a 20-year-old student, claimed she was sexually assaulted by a local man at his home in July 2015.
The lawsuit claims police treated her as a crime suspect instead of a victim and the school failed to support her.
According to the lawsuit, Ms Rondini met Terry Bunn Jr at a popular Tuscaloosa bar and was sexually assaulted and possibly drugged at his home.
Mr Bunn, who maintained the encounter was consensual, was not charged.
Upon leaving Mr Bunn's house, Ms Rondini said she took his gun to protect herself and $3 from his wallet to pay for a taxi home.
Her parents claim police wrongly focused on her actions after the incident and were sympathetic towards Mr Bunn, whose family owns a local construction company.
Cindy and Michael Rondini allege that Mr Bunn evaded prosecution because of his family's local prominence.
Cindy Rondini told CBS News on Wednesday she drove from Texas to Alabama after the incident to comfort her daughter, who said she felt that police thought she was at fault.
"It was the most heartbreaking moment of my life," Mrs Rondini said.
"Megan ultimately was treated as a crime suspect and her status as a victim of a sex crime was completely disregarded," the lawsuit contends.
The 25-page legal action, filed on Monday, names Mr Bunn, the Tuscaloosa County sheriff, a sheriff's deputy, a sheriff's office investigator and two university employees.
It claims the sheriff's office did not take Megan Rondini's claims seriously and the university failed to give her adequate psychological treatment and support.
Ms Rondini left the university and returned home to Austin, Texas, where she suffered depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, directly leading to her suicide, say her parents.
She hanged herself shortly after transferring to a college in Texas in February 2016.
The university told CBS News that school officials "handled their responsibilities with care at all times keeping Megan's wellbeing as their absolute highest priority".
Mr Bunn's lawyer denied the accusation in a statement.
"The allegations against my client as set forth in this baseless lawsuit are simply false," said the attorney, W Ivey Gilmore. "No sexual assault occurred."
The Rondinis say any money won in the lawsuit would be donated to groups to support rape victims.

For years the Necurs botnet has distributed junk mail and malware for many different groups of cyber-thieves.
But the amount of malicious traffic emerging from Necurs has now dwindled to almost nothing.
It is not clear what has caused the slowdown and whether traffic will return to previously high levels.
One of the first signs of the disruption was seen earlier this month when email messages spreading the Dridex banking trojan and Locky ransomware caught by security firms dried up.
Typically, millions of messages bearing these malicious programs are sent out every week, Proofpoint said in a blogpost.
However, the flood of messages "essentially stopped" last week, it said. Investigations revealed that these messages typically travelled via the Necurs botnet which was found to have gone largely offline.
The Necurs botnet is believed to be made up of about six million compromised Windows machines, many of which were enrolled when their owners inadvertently fell victim to a form of malware known as a rootkit.
Analysis of some of the machines known to be part of Necurs shows that its core administration systems have disappeared, said Proofpoint.
"Data from a variety of sources show that Necurs bots are actively looking for a new command and control (C&C) system, but we have no evidence that the Necurs botmaster has been able to retake control of the botnet."
A botnet's C&C system helps the network keep running and co-ordinates the distribution of any spam or malware being sent out via the global collection of computers.
Security researchers who monitor botnets and the groups that operate them said the cause of the shutdown remained a mystery.

The principal of Saint Ignatius College in the northern Sydney suburb of Riverview has informed former and current pupils of the allegations.
Paul Hine said in his letter that the allegations concerned "child sexual abuse over 30 years ago".
The Roman Catholic college is among the country's top private schools.
Mr Hine said the college was assisting New South Wales police with the complaint, which was made to the standards office of the Australian Province of the Society of Jesuits, the owners of the school.
In a statement, Mr Hine said: "The College and the Jesuits wish to express, in the strongest possible terms, their abhorrence of sexual misconduct or any form of abuse involving children.
"We wish to respond to past abuse and suffering with a commitment to healing, openness and accountability."
Mr Hine also encouraged any person who "believed they were harmed" while in the care of the school to get in touch.

The principal of Saint Ignatius College in the northern Sydney suburb of Riverview has informed former and current pupils of the allegations.
Paul Hine said in his letter that the allegations concerned "child sexual abuse over 30 years ago".

In a statement, Mr Hine said: "The College and the Jesuits wish to express, in the strongest possible terms, their abhorrence of sexual misconduct or any form of abuse involving children.
"We wish to respond to past abuse and suffering with a commitment to healing, openness and accountability."
Mr Hine also encouraged any person who "believed they were harmed" while in the care of the school to get in touch.

The 51-year-old, who won 30 caps for Scotland, was recently the director of Manchester United's youth academy.
"I am sure my experiences can be of benefit to Scottish football," said the former Motherwell and Celtic striker.
SFA chief executive Stewart Regan said McClair "has been at the cutting edge of coaching evolution, analysis and performance management".
McClair, who takes over the role following the departure of Dutchman Mark Wotte, spent almost 30 years at Old Trafford as a player, youth coach and director of the youth academy.
The SFA said he "was identified unanimously as preferred candidate during a recruitment process which involved the current Scotland national coach, Gordon Strachan, previous national coaches Walter Smith and Andy Roxburgh, as well as the Scottish FA's chief executive, Stewart Regan".
McClair begins in the role on 1 June and will be responsible for implementing the SFA's performance strategy.
He added: "I am extremely proud to have been given the responsibility to help Scottish football move forward as performance director of the Scottish FA.
"Having spent the majority of the last 30 years in England with Manchester United, I am looking forward to coming home, working with the coaching team at the Scottish FA and the clubs, and sharing the knowledge I have built up in that time to take on this new, exciting challenge."
Having started his playing career at Motherwell, McClair moved to Celtic in 1983 and went on to score 126 goals in 204 matches. He then joined Manchester United, where he made 471 appearances between 1987 and 1998. He scored 126 goals for the Old Trafford side and won four Premier League titles, one European Cup-winners' Cup, one European Super Cup, three FA Cups and one League Cup.
"The process of identifying a new performance director was thorough and hugely uplifting when we considered the quality of candidates," Regan added.
"Brian very quickly became a stand-out with his blend of experiences, not just from his trophy-laden career as a player at Manchester United, and his international contribution, but the depth of his coaching experiences with one of the biggest and most successful teams in the world.
"He has been at the cutting edge of coaching evolution, analysis and performance management at Manchester United and the recruitment panel were convinced he was the ideal person to lead the performance strategy into an exciting new era, enhancing the current provision while demonstrating the benefits of the investment so far to the future of Scottish football." | Brian McClair has been appointed performance director of the Scottish Football Association. | 31663392 | Summarize the following news within 103 words:

The Arsenal midfielder had knee surgery two weeks ago to repair an anterior cruciate ligament injury and expects to be back playing early in 2018.
"I got a bit emotional originally but got over it quite quickly," she said.
"My thoughts are on the World Cup qualifiers that begin after the Euros."
Little made her Scotland debut in 2007 and has since gone on to win 121 caps.
Her absence, along with that of Jen Beattie, Lizzie Arnot and Emma Mitchell, will be keenly felt by head coach Anna Signeul as she prepares the Euro 2017 squad for the Netherlands finals where Scotland play England, Spain and Portugal in the group stage.
Little, who had three years at Seattle Reign before a stint at Melbourne City preceded her move to Arsenal, will be a pundit for broadcaster Channel Four at the finals.
"It was very bad timing but these things happen in sport," she said of her injury, which she sustained training with Arsenal.
"It's obviously very disappointing for me, Jen and Emma and Lizzie but we're all young and we'll be back, I'm sure.
"I've been very lucky not to have been on the sidelines before.
"It is nice to have a different perspective because when you're playing you are so absorbed in that.
"I'm just excited now to watch the girls who have the opportunity to play."
Little feels there is now a good mix of players in the Scotland squad.
She highlighted the veteran goalkeeper Gemma Fay, who won her 200th cap in Friday's 1-0 win over the Republic of Ireland, a clutch of players in their mid- to late-20s with five years' international experience, and younger players to have emerged such as Chloe Arthur, Sophie Howard, Erin Cuthbert and Fiona Brown.
Little told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound that she will be sorry to see Signeul depart to take over the Finland women's team after the Euros but welcomes the arrival of Shelley Kerr "in the new era" as they strive to reach the World Cup in France in two years' time.
Scotland will take on Switzerland, Poland, Belarus and Albania in their qualification campaign, which runs for a year from September.

The latest available figures show that during 2014 there were 16.5 suicides per 100,000 in Northern Ireland.
Scotland had the second highest rate, at 14.5, followed by 10.3 in England and 9.2 in Wales.
It is the second consecutive year that Northern Ireland has recorded the UK's highest suicide rate.
However, the overall number of suicides in Northern Ireland decreased in 2014, falling to 268 compared to 303 deaths.
This reflected a small decrease in the total number of suicides across the UK as a whole in 2014, where the overall figure fell by 2%.
Last month, the Irish News reported that since the Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998, more people have taken their own lives in Northern Ireland than were killed during the Troubles.
Prof Siobhan O'Neill, from Ulster University' Psychology Research Institute, told the BBC there may be a link between those decades of conflict and the deaths of some of those who have taken their lives in a time of relative peace.
"Deprivation certainly is one of the legacy issues and we know that those areas that are deprived, that have high levels of deprivation, have also been the same areas that were exposed to conflict.
"Those are the areas where our suicide rates are highest," she added.
That link between deprivation and despair means that the legacy of the Troubles is having an impact on another generation in places like Londonderry.
Emma Johnston works with the charity Youth Action Northern Ireland which tries to get young people to talk about their mental health. One of the locations where she tries to help them is the job centre.
"Every programme that we deliver, at its core, at its very essence, is focusing around young people's mental health and while we may not frame it to begin with in that way, it's about raising them up, making them more resilient and maybe trying to raise their optimism for their future," she said.
One young woman who attends a support group in Londonderry told the BBC she had attempted suicide 16 times before getting help.
"It's only now in the past couple of months that I've been really coming out and been able to talk about it," she said.
Another said the intervention of a concerned friend forced her to address her mental health problems.
"When I was going through depression it took one of my friends nearly breaking into my house to find me. Eventually then I realised that other people are there to support," she said.
A spokeswoman for Northern Ireland's Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS) said reducing the suicide rate "continues to be a priority".
"Over £7m is allocated annually to suicide prevention in Northern Ireland by DHSSPS," she said.
"This is more per head of population than any other UK country and does not take into account the significant contribution from the charities and the community sector, mental health services, and from other Northern Ireland departments."
Meanwhile, a new sports-based charity, founded by former Manchester United player and Northern Ireland international Pat McGibbon, is aiming to promote positive mental health in deprived areas before suicidal thoughts take hold.
Mr McGibbon, from Lurgan, County Armagh, had the world at his feet as an 18-year-old when he was signed by Manchester United in 1992.
His teammates included David Beckham, Paul Scholes, and Roy Keane.
But just months after moving to England, he lost his brother Philip to suicide.
He had always been very close to his brother, and describes his suicide as a very personal and emotive subject.
But he added that his memories of Philip were "always positive" and the experience of loss helped to put things "into perspective" throughout his life, including the highs and lows of his 11-year football career.
The former player said that for those bereaved by suicide, many "questions go unanswered", especially if their loved ones did not talk about their problems.
In 2013, he set up the Train to be Smart (TTBS) charity, which runs football training sessions in some of the most deprived wards in County Armagh.
Mr McGibbon said that he believes emotional well-being is "just as important" as physical health and that participation in sport can help to improve both.
He said young people need to be "shaped by positive role models" who can help them to learn to be resilient when they are confronted by obstacles and disappointments.
He has called on the help of his former Manchester United teammate, Roy Keane, to help raise the profile of his charity.
On Thursday night, Keane is due to attend a question and answer session in front of more than 500 ticketholders in the Armagh City Hotel.

Chelsea hold a one-point lead over the Gunners at the top of the table.
"Unlike Arsenal, we sought success and tried to build it through a concept of the game using English players." November 2007, regarding Wenger's policies at Arsenal
"I think he is one of these people who is a voyeur. He likes to watch other people. There are some guys who, when they are at home, have a big telescope to see what happens in other families. He speaks, speaks, speaks about Chelsea." October 2005, after Wenger criticised Chelsea's transfer policy
Mourinho said: "If he is right and I am afraid of failure it is because I didn't fail many times. Eight years without silverware, that's failure."
Under Wenger, Arsenal have not won a trophy since the 2005 FA Cup.
"He's a specialist in failure," continued Mourinho. "If I do that in Chelsea, eight years, I leave and don't come back."

CAIR said Rose Hamid's eviction from the rally in South Carolina sent a "chilling message to American Muslims".
Ms Hamid was removed after making a silent protest on Friday.
Mr Trump's proposed ban on Muslims entering the US has been widely condemned.
During the rally in the town of Rock Hill, Ms Hamid stood up wearing a T-shirt bearing the words: "Salam, I come in peace" - "Salam" is the Arabic word for peace.
When she stood up, the crowd around her began chanting "Trump! Trump!" as they had reportedly been instructed to do in the event of any interruption, reports the BBC's Anthony Zurcher from Rock Hill.
Ms Hamid, a 56-year-old flight attendant, was then told by a security officer that she had to leave. She was booed as she was escorted out.
CAIR said that as well as apologising to Ms Hamid, Mr Trump should "make a clear statement that American Muslims are welcome as fellow citizens and as participants in the nation's political process".
Mr Trump has yet to respond.
At a Republican presidential forum in nearby Columbia, on Saturday morning, Ohio Governor John Kasich condemned the way the Trump crowd handled the protest.
"We don't need to be shouting and booing and scaring somebody," Mr Kasich, who is competing against Mr Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, told the BBC. "This is not some high-school basketball game. We are all our brother's keeper."
He added that the next US president must be willing to work with moderate Muslim nations.
"That may not win me the Republican primary, but there's more to life than that," he added. | The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has urged Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump to apologise to a Muslim protester ejected from one of his rallies. | 35274767 | Summarize the following news within 67 words:

When she stood up, the crowd around her began chanting "Trump! Trump!" as they had reportedly been instructed to do in the event of any interruption, reports the BBC's Anthony Zurcher from Rock Hill.
Ms Hamid, a 56-year-old flight attendant, was then told by a security officer that she had to leave. She was booed as she was escorted out.
CAIR said that as well as apologising to Ms Hamid, Mr Trump should "make a clear statement that American Muslims are welcome as fellow citizens and as participants in the nation's political process".
Mr Trump has yet to respond.
At a Republican presidential forum in nearby Columbia, on Saturday morning, Ohio Governor John Kasich condemned the way the Trump crowd handled the protest.
"We don't need to be shouting and booing and scaring somebody," Mr Kasich, who is competing against Mr Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, told the BBC. "This is not some high-school basketball game. We are all our brother's keeper."
He added that the next US president must be willing to work with moderate Muslim nations.
"That may not win me the Republican primary, but there's more to life than that," he added.

Richard Garvie, 30, who stood for Wellingborough and Rushden, bought train tickets using a bank account he knew contained insufficient funds.
He said he "did not set out to defraud East Midlands Trains".
At Corby Magistrates' Court on Friday he was also ordered to pay a £60 victim surcharge and court costs of £400.
Garvie, from Corby in Northamptonshire, denied the offence but was convicted at Wellingborough Magistrates' Court on Thursday 30 April.
At the time he told magistrates he ran up a debt in his own name in 2012 because he had been "desperate to see the people he cared about" in Berkshire.

He takes over from Caroline Wyatt, who is stepping down after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Bashir, who last worked for the BBC in 2004, is also known for TV interviews with suspects in the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
He said he "cannot wait to get started" in the role.
As correspondent, he will cover events and provide analysis on issues affecting different faiths both in the UK and around the world.
BBC head of newsgathering Jonathan Munro said: "Martin's track record in enterprising journalism is well known and respected in the industry and amongst our audiences.
"As a student of theology, Martin will bring immense knowledge of the brief to his new role, and an enthusiasm to cover the broadest range of faith-based stories."
Bashir said: "I am delighted to be rejoining the BBC at this time and in this subject area. The opportunity to cover the broad spectrum of religious affairs is challenging and compelling and I cannot wait to get started."
He first worked as a BBC news correspondent from 1987 to 1992, and then joined Panorama. He was there until 1999 and also presented BBC Radio 4's Sunday programme until 2004.
He worked for Tonight on ITV before moving to the US in 2004 to host ABC's Nightline programme. In 2010, he joined NBC News as an MSNBC anchor and a correspondent on NBC's Dateline programme.
He resigned from MSNBC in 2013 after making controversial remarks about former US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
It was during her 1995 interview with Bashir that Diana, Princess of Wales, admitted to having had an affair and also spoke of Prince Charles's relationship with the then Camilla Parker-Bowles.
"There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded," she told Bashir on Panorama, in a programme watched by millions globally.
In 1999, he interviewed five men suspected of involvement in the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
In 2003 he also interviewed Michael Jackson for his controversial documentary, Living with Michael Jackson, which led to the pop star being charged with molesting one of the boys featured in the programme.
Jackson was later acquitted after being found not guilty of all charges, at the end of his four-month-long child abuse trial.

Glasgow City Council confirmed Harry Clarke had been suspended following evidence at the ongoing inquiry into the tragedy, which killed six people.
The inquiry has heard Mr Clarke, 58, previously fainted while working as a bus driver but failed to disclose the incident when he joined the council.
It has also heard a claim Mr Clarke "lied through his teeth" to doctors.
A spokesman for the council confirmed that it had suspended Mr Clarke on a precautionary basis pending a full disciplinary investigation.
He added: "A number of allegations have been made during the enquiry in regard to Mr Clarke's conduct before and at the point where he commenced employment with the council.
"These allegations have yet to be put to Mr Clarke and he has not yet had the opportunity of responding to them. The internal investigation will therefore take place at the conclusion of the fatal accident inquiry".
The fatal accident inquiry (FAI) at Glasgow Sheriff Court has previously heard evidence that Mr Clarke had suffered episodes of dizziness and fainting for decades before the fatal crash on 22 December, when several witnesses reported seeing him slumped behind the wheel on the bin lorry as it went out of control in the city centre.
But he failed to disclose his health history to the DVLA and on job application forms, and was said to have continued to deny any history of blackouts even after the bin lorry crash.
In April 2010 - shortly before he joined the council - Mr Clarke fainted on a stationary bus while working as a driver for First Bus.
The FAI has heard claims that Mr Clarke was "on his last legs" at the bus firm following repeated sick days prior to his blackout.
Paramedics examined him on the bus and he refused to accompany them to hospital, instead returning to the depot where he informed his managers about the blackout.
He visited Baillieston Health Centre and told his GP, Dr Gerard McKaig, that he fainted "at work, in canteen, hot environment, no warning signs".
Later, he visited a second GP, Dr John Langan, and repeated his claim that he fainted in the work canteen but then told him he had felt light-headed beforehand.
However, two letters from First's medical officer Dr Kenneth Lyons indicated that Mr Clarke fainted on a stationary bus.
DVLA guidelines to GPs state that people who have fainted may be fit to return to the wheel if there was provocational factors, such as a hot environment, prodromal features such as light headedness, and if a faint "is unlikely to occur while sitting or lying".
Dr Langan later wrote to First Bus diagnosing the blackout as a "simple" faint which did not require Mr Clarke to give up driving.
The GP said he would have looked at Mr Clarke's medical history over the past five years before making his diagnosis.
He said "nothing jumped out at me at the time" to merit diagnosing a more serious condition.
During Thursday's evidence, Ronald Conway, the solicitor advocate acting for the family of bin lorry crash victim Stephenie Tait, put it to Dr Langan: "Mr Clarke has lied through his teeth to you and Dr McKaig and one of the reasons he has got away with it is because you failed to properly interrogate and tease out the details of the incident at your encounter with him."
Dr Langan replied: "If a patient misled me or lied to me, that's not something I usually expect to happen."
The Crown Office has already said there will be no criminal prosecution over the crash, with senior lawyers deeming it a "tragic accident".
Erin McQuade, 18, her grandparents Jack Sweeney, 68, and his 69-year-old wife Lorraine, all from Dumbarton, died in the incident in the city's Queen Street and George Square.

Vern Cotter names his squad for the Championship on Tuesday, three months after a 35-34 quarter-final defeat.
Referee Craig Joubert awarded the Wallabies a late penalty that replays suggested was an incorrect decision.
"You feel you're over it and then you see something and it brings it all back," Hogg told BBC Scotland.
"I was watching something on the TV a couple of weeks ago about the legacy of the World Cup and when us going out came up, it just brought back horrible memories. It was bitterly disappointing."
Hogg is set to be included in a squad missing the injured Harlequins wing Tim Visser - ruled out of at least the first two games - and flanker Alasdair Strokosch, who retired from Test rugby after the World Cup.
Another injury concern is Glasgow centre Mark Bennett, who was due to see a specialist on Monday to determine whether he needs an operation on his injured shoulder.
The involvement of Warriors pair Ryan Wilson and Tim Swinson could hinge on the outcome of disciplinary proceedings against them following the European Champions Cup loss at Northampton.
But club-mate and fellow midfielder Alex Dunbar could return to the Scotland fold after missing the World Cup with the after-effects of a knee injury sustained in training during last year's Six Nations.
After the Calcutta Cup opener against England at Murrayfield on 6 February, Scotland travel to Cardiff - one of three away fixtures in this year's campaign - to face Wales in their second match a week later.
Hogg says the squad will be desperate to banish the memories of not only their World Cup despair, but the embarrassment of a Six Nations whitewash last year.
"It is another challenge for us now, but we can take immense confidence from the World Cup," said the 23-year-old, who has only tasted victory in three of his 19 Six Nations matches since his 2012 debut.
"If I'm fortunate enough to be picked, hopefully we can produce something special in this Six Nations. England first up at Murrayfield is exactly what you want and it would be great to be part of that.
"Getting a good couple of wins early doors would give us immense confidence going forward, and we'd be in the tournament if that happens.
"We have let ourselves down in the last couple of Six Nations but we are looking forward to it."
Hogg and his Glasgow team-mates will be hoping that joining up with Scotland provides a catalyst for rediscovering their World Cup form.
Four successive defeats since Christmas have seen them slip to eighth in the Pro 12 table and effectively exit the European Champions Cup, after a third pool defeat on Sunday to Northampton.
"Our target was to become the number one team in Europe and we've fallen short again," Hogg noted.
"It's fine and well having good performances here and there but it's wins that we need. Europe is the be-all and end-all of club rugby so we're bitterly disappointed to no longer be part of it."
After their final Champions Cup game against pool leaders Racing 92 at Kilmarnock's Rugby Park on Saturday, Glasgow - eight points off the Pro 12 play-off positions, but with two games in hand - must turn their attention to restoring last season's lustre.
"We're defending champions although to be honest we have not been playing like it lately," Hogg added.

Riley's comments came after referee Neil Swarbrick sent off Gareth McAuley instead of Craig Dawson during West Brom's 3-0 defeat at Manchester City.
Swarbrick has apologised for the error.
"We need to see what technology we can use to help get referees' decisions more accurate," said Riley. "Football as a whole has to look at it."

Footage captured Simon King's camera showed a man climbing over a fence and making off across a garden at a property in Herne Hill, south London.
Nigel Batton, 43, was convicted of one count of burglary and one count of attempted burglary at Woolwich Crown Court.
Batton, of Marischal Road, Lewisham, was sentenced on Monday.
The burglary took place at a property in Hollingbourne Road in Herne Hill.
The footage, which showed Batton in a nearby property's garden, was captured on Mr King's camera, which streams live on his website, at about 03:45 BST on 12 January 2014.
After it was released by police, a number of people contacted officers and identified Batton.
Police said a scarf left at the scene of the crime contained Batton's DNA and a cardigan worn by the burglar in the video was also found at Batton's home address,
Det Con Marie Hamilton, from Southwark police, said: "The images from the fox family camera were brilliant and together with the forensics we have been able to ensure that Batton has been brought to justice."

Researchers say the growth continued in 2014 and more than compensated for losses recorded in the three previous years.
The scientists involved believe changes in summer temperatures have greater impacts on ice than thought.
But they say 2013 was a one-off and that climate change will continue to shrink the ice in the decades ahead.
The Arctic region has warmed more than most other parts of the planet over the past 30 years.
Satellite observations have documented a decrease of around 40% in the extent of sea ice cover in the Arctic since 1980.
But while the extent of the retreating ice has been well recorded, the key indicator that scientists want to understand is the loss of sea ice volume.
Researchers have been able to use data gathered by Europe's Cryosat satellite over the past five years to answer this question.
This polar monitoring spacecraft has a sophisticated radar system that allows scientists to accurately estimate the volume.
The researchers used 88 million measurements of sea ice thickness from Cryosat and found that between 2010 and 2012, the volume of sea ice went down by 14%.
They published their initial findings at the end of 2013 - but have now refined and updated them to include data from 2014 as well.
Relative to the average of the period between 2010 and 2012, the scientists found that there was a 33% increase in sea ice volume in 2013, while in 2014 there was still a quarter more sea ice than there was between 2010 and 2012.
"We looked at various climate forcing factors, we looked at the snow loading, we looked at wind convergence and the melt season length of the previous summer," lead author Rachel Tilling, from University College London, told BBC News.
"We found that the the highest correlation by far was with the melt season length - and over the summer of 2013, it was the coolest of the five years we have seen, and we believe that's why there was more multi-year ice left at the end of summer."
The researchers found the colder temperatures allowed more multi-year ice to persist north-west of Greenland because there were simply fewer days when it could melt. Temperature records indicate that the summer was about 5% cooler than 2012.
The scientists believe that the more accurate measurements that they have now published show that sea ice is more sensitive to changes than previously thought. They argue that while some could see this as a positive, when temperatures are cooler it leads to an increase in sea ice, it could also be a negative when the mercury goes up.
"It would suggest that sea ice is more resilient perhaps - if you get one year of cooler temperatures, we've almost wound the clock back a few years on this gradual decline that's been happening over decades," said Rachel Tilling.
"The long-term trend of the ice volume is downwards and the long-term trend of the temperatures in the Arctic is upwards and this finding doesn't give us any reason to disbelieve that - as far as we can tell it's just one anomalous year."
The updated data has been published in the journal Nature Geoscience.

Researchers have been able to use data gathered by Europe's Cryosat satellite over the past five years to answer this question.
This polar monitoring spacecraft has a sophisticated radar system that allows scientists to accurately estimate the volume.
The researchers used 88 million measurements of sea ice thickness from Cryosat and found that between 2010 and 2012, the volume of sea ice went down by 14%.
They published their initial findings at the end of 2013 - but have now refined and updated them to include data from 2014 as well.
Relative to the average of the period between 2010 and 2012, the scientists found that there was a 33% increase in sea ice volume in 2013, while in 2014 there was still a quarter more sea ice than there was between 2010 and 2012.
"We looked at various climate forcing factors, we looked at the snow loading, we looked at wind convergence and the melt season length of the previous summer," lead author Rachel Tilling, from University College London, told BBC News.
"We found that the the highest correlation by far was with the melt season length - and over the summer of 2013, it was the coolest of the five years we have seen, and we believe that's why there was more multi-year ice left at the end of summer."
The researchers found the colder temperatures allowed more multi-year ice to persist north-west of Greenland because there were simply fewer days when it could melt. Temperature records indicate that the summer was about 5% cooler than 2012.
The scientists believe that the more accurate measurements that they have now published show that sea ice is more sensitive to changes than previously thought. They argue that while some could see this as a positive, when temperatures are cooler it leads to an increase in sea ice, it could also be a negative when the mercury goes up.
"It would suggest that sea ice is more resilient perhaps - if you get one year of cooler temperatures, we've almost wound the clock back a few years on this gradual decline that's been happening over decades," said Rachel Tilling.
"The long-term trend of the ice volume is downwards and the long-term trend of the temperatures in the Arctic is upwards and this finding doesn't give us any reason to disbelieve that - as far as we can tell it's just one anomalous year."
The updated data has been published in the journal Nature Geoscience.

Butane hash oil is made using large amounts of the flammable gas, which can explode with devastating consequences.
A BBC investigation has learned of two deaths and 27 people being injured across the UK since 2014, as a result of making the drug.
The warning comes on the same day a Glasgow man was jailed for more than six years after his drug lab exploded.
Butane hash oil (BHO), which is illegal in the UK, is also known as honey oil, dabs or shatter.
It is pure and strong and made by using solvents to strip out of cannabis plants one of the active ingredients of the drug - THC.
Producers often use butane gas, which can ignite and cause a fireball.
It has become popular in the US, especially in states where cannabis has been partly decriminalised.
In Colorado there were more than 30 explosions linked to BHO in 2014 alone.
Now there is evidence that it is coming to the UK.
"They're using the butane as a solvent to extract the products they require," explains John Galvin from Fire Investigations UK.
He demonstrates how the production process works. The gas is heavier than air, sticks to clothes and pools on the floor.
Mr Galvin also explains that it takes very little to ignite it.
"Flicking a light switch, or it could be a fridge switching on and off," he adds.
Several people were badly injured and a dog and cat were killed when a home-made drug lab exploded, causing damage estimated at £1m to a Glasgow tenement, a court has heard.
Scott Peden, 30, was bidding to make a super-strength form of cannabis at the flat in Tollcross when the equipment caught fire and blew up on 21 March. He has been jailed for six years and four months.
The High Court in Glasgow was told gas released during the drug-making process ignited and caused an explosion, possibly due to a light being turned on.
Windows and the front door of the flat were instantly blown off in the blast.
Passing sentence, judge Lord Armstrong told Peden that he had shown "gross irresponsibility" and that his actions had had "traumatic and devastating consequences".
Man jailed over drugs lab explosion
There were just four injuries from production of the drug in the UK between 2010 and 2014.
Alex Fraser, who has been campaigning for medicinal use of cannabis to be legalised, says BHO is becoming increasingly popular.
"It's huge - comparative to last year, it's 10 times bigger and I expect it will be 10 times bigger next year."
But he fears more people may try to make it themselves and get injured.
An explosion at house in Birmingham in November 2014 left one man dead.
The house was destroyed and hundreds of butane canisters were found in the property.
West Midlands Fire Service investigator James McDonald calls the people who make BHO "YouTube chemists".
There have been six explosions in his area since 2014 - two in the last month alone.
His message is simple: "Do not try this... the devastation... the effects on people's lives is incredible."
During Scott Peden's case, the court heard fire crews found "absolute carnage" when they attended the aftermath of the blast.
Eight people were injured and 50 firefighters tackled the blaze that followed.
Detective Inspector David Stewart, of Shettleston CID, said: "I cannot emphasise enough the stupidity of his selfish actions."
Also on Friday, two men from Dudley, in the West Midlands, were each jailed for three years after blowing up a house in October last year when producing cannabis in the same way.

The party called for an armed forces commissioner and better assessment to deliver the services veterans need.
Social justice spokesman Mark Isherwood said it was "time for us to reflect as a society" on treatment of veterans.
Communities Secretary Carl Sargeant said the Welsh Government was "fully committed" to providing support.
The debate on Wednesday comes amid continued concern that many military veterans suffer from mental health issues, loneliness, welfare or addiction problems, or have trouble finding work or housing.
"It's not enough just to rely on organisations like the Royal British Legion to raise money and campaign for the 385,000 members of the current and former service community currently living in Wales," Mr Isherwood said.
"As politicians we have to raise our game, and make sure that each and every level of government is playing its part.
"We are 100 years on from the Battle of the Somme," he added.
"The commemorations this year have been a poignant reminder of the need to protect these heroes, and to ensure that those who have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated with fairness and respect."
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said: "All Welsh public bodies have signed up to the Armed Forces Covenant, but it's clear that we have a long way to go to redress the disadvantages faced by this section of the community.
"In Scotland, a Veterans Commissioner champions the needs of the armed forces community.
"We want to go one step further here in Wales, and create an armed forces commissioner for Wales, dedicated both to veterans and the wider armed forces community."
Communities Secretary Carl Sargeant outlined the Welsh Government's support for the armed forces to the Senedd on Tuesday.
It included support on health needs, housing and employment.
"This time of the year particularly reminds us of all those who have fought in conflicts to preserve the way of life we have today," he said.

Having survived a tight lbw appeal early on, the former England captain went on to reach three figures off 202 balls with 16 fours.
The Essex opener shared a 134-run second-wicket stand with Tom Westley but fell for 110 as he pulled a short ball from Dean Elgar to James Hildreth.
But, Westley's unbeaten 86 ensured the visitors chased down 255 in 84.1 overs.
In his first competitive match since stepping down as skipper of the national side, Cook rarely looked troubled while at the crease.
Resuming overnight unbeaten on four, Cook signalled his intent by hitting two boundaries from the first over of the day before Craig Overton was convinced the England batsman had been trapped lbw only for umpire Graham Lloyd to remain unmoved.
Despite 30 wickets falling in the first two days, the hosts' bowlers struggled and Nick Browne shared an 82-run opening partnership with the England opener before being caught behind off Jamie Overton for 35.
Cook batted on unfazed, as new Somerset captain Tom Abell ran out of options, and left the visitors requiring just 39 runs to win when he was dismissed.

Nabila Nanfuka, 22, and Laurene-Danielle Jackson, 19, suffered fatal injuries while trying to leave the Lava and Ignite club in Northampton in 2011.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission looked into police actions.
An inquest found 14 DJ announcements in 30 minutes had been the most significant cause of overcrowding.
About 900 students travelled to the club from around the country and the DJs called for universities to leave one after the other, often with just a few minutes between them.
The IPCC investigation found it more than likely police had not been informed of the event and was only alerted when a large number of people began arriving at the club.
The report said there is "sufficient evidence to suggest the decisions and actions of the police during the incident were appropriate".
It added there was "no evidence of a criminal offence having been committed by any police officer".
The report concluded that "every officer involved made a significant contribution to the effective policing of the tragedy".
During an inquest last week, it was reported that a series of announcements reminding people not to miss their coaches had been made in the early hours of 19 October.
The inquest jury concluded the second most significant factor was the lack of overall management of the cloakroom.
The Crown Prosecution Service previously determined there would be no criminal charges brought against anyone following the incident.
Ms Nanfuka, of Neasden, north London, was studying a leisure and tourism degree at the University of Northampton. She died at Northampton General Hospital on 19 October.

Earlier, the charges, levelled under an apartheid-era law, were suspended following a national outcry.
The first 100 miners will be freed on Monday, and the rest on Thursday.
Also on Monday, talks are set to resume on ending the strike that led to killing of the 34 workers at the Marikana platinum mine.
Police says they opened fire on the strikers in self-defence after being threatened by a crowd of protesters who advanced towards them, armed with machetes.
The strike, called in support of demands for a substantial pay rise and recognition of a new union, continues and the mine remains closed three weeks on.
The mine's owner, Lonmin, the world's third-largest platinum producer, says the industrial action is illegal.

By suspending the charges, state prosecutors have helped President Jacob Zuma salvage some of his credibility.
He has been under heavy criticism over what has been dubbed the "Marikana massacre".
Militant youth leader Julius Malema demanded his resignation, comparing his government to that of the apartheid regime.
Mr Zuma's allies denounced Mr Malema - under investigation on fraud and tax avoidance charges - as a maverick and an opportunist.
But there is no doubt that the Marikana killings have damaged Mr Zuma, ahead of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) December conference, which decides whether he remains party leader.
And it has strengthened the hand of his opponents, who are lobbying his deputy, Kgalema Motlanthe, to contest the party's leadership.
Mr Motlanthe is yet to declare his intentions, but there is no doubt that Mr Zuma's presidency is in deep trouble.
But it has dropped its demands that the strikers go back to work or face the sack.
After the shootings, state prosecutors invoked the apartheid-era "common purpose" doctrine to charge the 270 miners arrested during the violence with provoking police to open fire.
The rule was used by the white-minority apartheid regime to crack down on its black opponents, at the time mainly represented by the African National Congress, which is now in power.
On Sunday, the acting national director of prosecutions, Nomgcobo Jiba, held a news conference to announce the charges would be provisionally dropped
She added, however, that the charges cannot be dismissed formally until the end of the inquiry.
Those whose addresses have been verified by police will be released on Monday, and the rest will remain in custody until their next court appearance on Thursday, Ms Jiba said.
The decision to charge the men had drawn condemnation from political parties, trade unions, activists and legal experts.
On Friday, Justice Minister Jeff Radebe demanded a report from state prosecutors to explain the reasoning behind it.
BBC South Africa analyst Farouk Chothia says the move to shelve the charges has salvaged some of the government's credibility.
But he says the government will have to make sure that the miners co-operate with the judge-led commission of inquiry that was set up by Mr Zuma to investigate the 16 August shootings.
South African media reports suggest some of the mine workers have decided to hold their own inquiry into the killings, which would create more embarrassment for Mr Zuma, says our correspondent.
On Saturday, the arrested miners' lawyers asked President Jacob Zuma to free the men, but he issued a statement saying he would not intervene in the case.
The violence at the mine, near Rustenburg, about 80km north-east of Johannesburg, reminded many of the apartheid-era treatment of opposition protesters.
No police officers have been charged over the deaths because a judicial inquiry and an internal police review are under way, but these are expected to take several months to complete.

The violence at the mine, near Rustenburg, about 80km north-east of Johannesburg, reminded many of the apartheid-era treatment of opposition protesters.
No police officers have been charged over the deaths because a judicial inquiry and an internal police review are under way, but these are expected to take several months to complete.
The strike turned violent before the police shooting, with the deaths of 10 people including two police officers and two security guards who were hacked to death.

Goals in either half from Jackson Irvine and Brian Graham earned them all three points.
Motherwell's late response began with Stephen Pearson's fierce strike.
But Scott Fox saved from James McFadden and brilliantly kept out a Keith Lasley drive to frustrate Motherwell.
It was a pulsating finish to a game that only sparked into life when Irvine fired in the opening goal.
The Australian was only drafted into the starting line-up minutes before the match because of an injury in the warm-up to Martin Woods.
And he made a great case for his inclusion when he deftly controlled a deep corner before lashing the ball past Connor Ripley, despite the best efforts of Kieran Kennedy on the line.
Fox saved well from a Louis Moult header and Chris Cadden as Motherwell tried to mount a swift response, but County regained the ascendancy at the start of the second half.
Playing principally on the counter-attack, they went close on a number of occasions, with Michael Gardyne having a header cleared off the line and passing up another great chance with a low drive that was blocked.
They got the second goal their play deserved when Graham slotted past Ripley as the Motherwell defence failed to deal with a Stewart Murdoch cross.
That looked like game over until Pearson's late strike - the midfielder blasting past Fox from 12 yards.
But the keeper was sharply off his line to prevent McFadden's lob beating him and he sprung to his right to deny Lasley a spectacular equaliser.
The result leaves Motherwell just a point above the relegation play-off spot and County in good spirits ahead of next weekend's League Cup semi-final against Celtic. | Ross County survived a late onslaught from Motherwell for their first league win of 2016, moving them up to fourth in the Premiership. | 35330970 | Summarize the following news within 70 words:

Nicholas Muton claimed he was protesting against police corruption and the court heard that he was convicted of a similar stunt in 2003.
His recent protest, which began on 12 June, cost emergency services £1.4m and the wider economy an estimated £28m.
He pleaded guilty at Leicester Crown Court to causing a public nuisance.
Judge Adrienne Lucking QC told him his protest was a "childish response to your beef with the police".
"Your actions had a direct economic impact on the constabulary and the wider economy," she said.
Muton, 45, of no fixed address, was found guilty of the same offence by a jury in 2003, after he brought the M1 to a standstill for 10 hours by threatening to hang himself from a bridge.
He was jailed for 18 months at the time.
In 2007 he was arrested for attempting to jump off a bridge, and was Tasered by police while he was in custody.
The court heard this was one of the reasons behind his most recent protest; he had also claimed to have been abused as a child.
Muton has made 34 complaints to police in the past, plus appeals to the Independent Police Complaints Commission but none have been resolved in his favour.
Days before his most recent protest he phoned police anonymously saying there was going to be a demonstration, but he did not say where and exactly when.
Muton also wrote a Facebook message warning about his plan and alleging police had "covered up" child abuse.
The court heard that no charges have ever been brought in relation to the alleged child abuse. Leicestershire Police said it would not be commenting on Muton's claims of corruption.
He climbed the information board gantry between Coalville and Loughborough on the southbound carriageway at about midday at 12 June, and wrote messages alleging that someone "tried 2 kill me" and referring to "2 murder attempts".
Police tried to talk him down but he was abusive and threatened to jump.
He eventually came down at about 16:00 BST the following day after the IPCC arrived.
The gantry was near East Midlands Airport and the court heard that cars were abandoned by people trying to catch flights, which hundreds of them missed.
Angela Clark, District Crown Prosecutor at CPS East Midlands, said Muton had "set out to cause the maximum disruption possible".
"The regular users of the road were affected and there were also thousands of people due to leave Donington Park from the Download festival at that point," she said.
"People reported missing flights at the nearby East Midlands Airport, vehicle breakdowns and some accidents resulting from overcrowded roads."
In mitigation, Muton's lawyer said he knew what he did was wrong, apologised and wanted to put it behind him.
But the judge said his "one-man protest" was "so serious and had such a significant impact, a clear message must be sent".
Muton claimed police closed the motorway to "wind him up", but Leicestershire Police defended their actions.
Assistant Chief Constable Phil Kay said: "Our priority from the outset was the safety of the defendant, of my officers, and of the wider motoring public and the closure was necessary in order to reach a safe conclusion." | A protester who disrupted thousands of motorists by scaling a gantry and causing the M1 to be closed for 28 hours has been jailed for two years. | 36921728 | Summarize the following news within 134 words:

It is an important question and the public deserves a straight answer. Yet in the current heated debate it risks being both politicised and blurred by conflation with other issues like the economy, migration and policies towards Russia.
So what are the facts?
The UK is currently at threat level "severe", the second highest on the scale, meaning the government judges a terrorist attack to be "highly likely" (but not necessarily imminent).
Britain is right up at the top of so-called Islamic State's target list, along with France, Belgium, Germany and Denmark. MI5 and police estimate there to be more than 2,000 individuals living here who have sympathies with or connections to international terrorism, most of it IS-inspired.
There are two principal reasons why the UK has not yet suffered the sort of Marauding Terrorist Firearms Attack (MTFA) experienced twice by Parisians last year.
One is better intelligence, the other is better borders.
That said, no-one in counter-terrorism circles is being complacent that such an attack could not still happen here.
After the 9/11 attacks of 2001 and then again after the London bombings of 2005, Britain's counter-terrorism infrastructure was reformed to break down inter-agency barriers and do away with the sort of departmental "silos" that, sadly, still exist in many European nations.
So Britain's MI5, the domestic security service, works closely with MI6, the external intelligence-gathering agency, GCHQ and the Metropolitan Police.
Old rivalries have largely been set aside. Yet in France and Belgium the police and intelligence agencies hardly talk to each other, they share very little.
Absurdly, for a Belgian police officer to find out what Belgian intelligence knows about a threat, he or she sometimes needs to learn it from the UK police, who learn it from UK intelligence, who learn it from Belgian intelligence.
When it comes to EU-wide counter-terrorism, national intelligence agencies are even less willing to divulge their secrets.
On borders, Britain has something that continental European countries do not: A single coastline.
British counter-terrorism officials say that because the UK is not part of Europe's Schengen open borders agreement it is considerably more difficult - though not impossible - for terrorists and organised criminals to acquire the sort of powerful automatic weapons, notably Kalashnikovs, used in the Paris attacks last November.
A senior EU counter terrorism official admitted to me last year, prior to the migrant crisis, that although the EU's external borders had been strengthened, once weapons had crossed over that border from the Balkans there was little to stop them being moved freely around Europe.
The UK's strongest intelligence-sharing and security co-operation relationships are not with Europe, although those still matter.
They are with the United States, with its massive eavesdropping and interception capabilities, and the other Anglophone so-called Five Eyes partner nations: Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
Nearly all the most important intelligence-sharing with Europe tends to be done bilaterally, country to country, rather than through any EU-wide organisation.

The move was confirmed after JTI Gallaher turned down the plan to save about 500 of those jobs.
Unite had proposed turning the factory into a centre of excellence for pouch tobacco and cigar production, meaning about 370 redundancies.
JTI Gallaher employs about 870 staff, but will shut down completely by 2017.
The union had said the redundancies would be voluntary, under its proposal.
Unite balloted its members last year, and they voted to support the plan.
On Wednesday, Unite regional secretary Jimmy Kelly said he was angry at the rejection of their plan.
He described the decision to close the factory as "an extreme case of social dumping where employers seek to minimise costs through chasing lower cost alternatives".
"The choice to close JTI's plant at Ballymena but leave production in Trier, Germany, reflects the fact that social protections for workers in Northern Ireland, and the UK as a whole, are substantially weaker than in Germany," he said.
"It boils down to the fact that it is much cheaper for the company to make a UK worker redundant than a German one."
Mr Kelly called for immediate action from political leaders to put in place increased protection for UK workers and said Unite would now focus on securing compensation for its members at the Ballymena factory.
North Antrim MP Ian Paisley said it was disappointing that the closure of the factory had been confirmed.
He said he had continued to lobby the UK government to reconsider the introduction of plain-packaging and delay the European Union's Tobacco Products Directive.
However, he said "the die has been cast and the tentacles of european bureaucracy have reached in and stripped this factory bare".
He said it was now the responsibility of the relevant government departments to reskill the workers.
In a statement, JTI Gallaher said it was working in a challenging regulatory and operating environment and that it had "fought very hard" against plain packaging proposals in the UK, the EU's Tobacco Products Directive 2 (TPD2) as well as the trade in smuggled cigarettes.
It said its business must "prepare for the negative consequences of these".
The firm added that around 80% of cigarette production at its factory in Ballymena was for the UK and the Republic of Ireland and that from 2009 to 2014, cigarette production there had declined by 27%.
"These declines will be exacerbated by the implementation of TPD2 which bans small packs - 81% of our current pack formats will be prohibited, which means that 40% of the overall production at Lisnafillan will be affected," it said.
The factory has been a major employer in Ballymena, but in October, the firm began consultations on proposals to close its facilities in Northern Ireland and Belgium, with production possibly moving to Poland and Romania.
The firm said at that time its restructuring would be phased in, with factory closures completed between 2016 and 2018.
When Unite first unveiled its alternative plan in November, it warned it would mean "significant concessions in terms and conditions", as well as the large-scale redundancies.
However, it said that would have to be seen in context of the threat of "total loss of all employment at the plant". | A trade union proposal aimed at saving jobs at a tobacco factory in Ballymena, County Antrim, has been rejected. | 30913723 | Summarize the following news within 133 words:

In the 40 previous editions only twice has a team trailing by more than two points after the first two days come back to win.
But with late swings on Saturday evening giving the USA a 9½-6½ lead going into the final afternoon, Europe will need to win at least seven and-a-half of the 12 points on offer to hang on to a trophy they have lost only once in the last 14 years.
Rory McIlroy will lead the attempted fight-back in an alluring match-up against Patrick Reed, before Open champion Henrik Stenson takes on Jordan Spieth and Thomas Pieters plays JB Holmes.
A European comeback is not impossible - at Medinah in 2012 they had trailed 10-4 late on the Saturday, and began the singles four down before storming through for a famous victory.
Team talisman McIlroy has led the European charge superbly thus far, winning three points from a possible four, and his foursomes and fourball partner Pieters has also been in the sort of dead-eyed form that belies his rookie status.
Yet with the other two of captain Darren Clarke's wildcards, Martin Kaymer and Lee Westwood, struggling to justify their selection and the US inspired by the stunning performance of the pugnacious Reed, home captain Davis Love will know that his team has a wonderful chance to win only their third Ryder Cup in the last 21 years.
All 12 of Love's players won points in the first two days, while five of Clarke's - Kaymer, Westwood, Danny Willet, Matthew Fitzpatrick and Andy Sullivan - are yet to score.
Clarke, who won four of his five Cups as a player and was a vice-captain at Medinah in 2012, remains defiant despite the disappointment of losing Saturday afternoon's fourballs session 3-1 when at the midway point it had looked as if Europe might have reversed that score.
He said: "We're going to have to work hard and play very, very well, but it's been done before from a worse position - we have a big task ahead of us, but the guys are capable of doing it.
"With the team that's here this week, I don't need to pick them up. Those guys fully believe that they have the talent and the desire to put a result in."
Love was the US captain on that stunning afternoon at Medinah, one of many high-profile US golfers so scarred by the succession of recent defeats that they set up an 11-man task-force to put it right this time.
With only five points required from the 12 on offer on Sunday he is close to achieving that goal and the raucous capacity crowds around this long course are likely to once again offer the most passionate and partisan of support as Clarke puts his big hitters out early.
Love said: "I've obviously been around a lot of teams so it was no secret that they (Europe) were going to load the boat.
"So our problem, was we say, all right, we're going to put the six guys out that are playing really well.
"It's nice to go in on a high, but we know the deal. There are still 12 points to be played, and you can't get off the game plan - you have to keep grinding it out for one more day."

The magic word at Ryder Cups is momentum, and on Saturday the US snatched that back by winning all three of the last matches on the course having taken only two and-a-half points from the previous nine.
One match in particular that appeared to have cost them was when Sergio Garcia and Rafa Cabrera-Bello came from four down with six to play against Reed and Jordan Spieth to snatch an unlikely half-point in the foursomes and make the overall score at lunchtime 6½-5½.
But two short missed putts from Westwood handed JB Holmes and Ryan Moore both the 17th and 18th holes of their fourballs to hand over the match when the Englishman and partner Willett had not once been behind in the round.
Clarke now needs the early singles matches to go his way to both seize back that impetus and silence a crowd that has celebrated every missed European putt with almost as much fervour as when an American putt has dropped.
With his decision to pick Kaymer and Westwood for the afternoon fourballs also likely to come under scrutiny in the event of a defeat, he also requires a dramatic turnaround from those experienced men as well as an unprecedented display from his six rookies - four of who are out in the last five singles matches. | Europe must scale a mountain if not find another miracle to match that of four years ago if they are to retain the Ryder Cup on Sunday. | 37532815 | Summarize the following news within 197 words:

The self-employed and those with more than one source of income must submit their self-assessment forms online by 31 January,
Data from returns made last year showed that men were most likely to file late.
Those aged between 18 and 20 and living in London were the worst offenders, the tax authority said.
So far, 6.45 million returns have been submitted ahead of the deadline at the end of the month, with about another 4.5 million outstanding.
"Whatever your gender, age, occupation or location, if you haven't sent in your 2013-14 tax return, you need to take action now. Don't leave it until the last minute to contact us. Do it now, and avoid a last-minute rush to beat the deadline," said Ruth Owen of HM Revenue and Customs.
The figures from a year ago showed that the over-65s were the most punctual.
Interestingly, lawyers and accountants were not the most punctual - with 219 late filers per 10,000 submitted. Those in agriculture, fishing and forestry were more efficient, with 109 per 10,000 filing late. | Young men working in the communications industry are the most likely to miss the looming tax return deadline, HM Revenue and Customs figures suggest. | 30777653 | Summarize the following news within 43 words:

Viktoria Tautz, 34, was looking after Joshua Paul at his home in Haringey, north London, on 29 August 2014 when he suddenly collapsed.
Joshua was taken to hospital but died on 1 September, the Old Bailey heard.
Ms Tautz, of Holly Park Road, Barnet, denies one charge of manslaughter and insists she never got angry with him.
The court heard Joshua, who was born about 10 weeks early, had a large head for his age and was being monitored.
Asked what she knew about his condition, Ms Tautz said she was aware his head was "big" and "sensitive" on the top.
After starting work for his family in June, she said she was getting on well with the parents.
On Joshua, she said: "He was good baby."
Bernard Richmond QC, defending, asked how she coped on days when she found him in an unhappy mood.
Ms Tautz said: "There was not much needed. I lifted him a bit. I played with him. He calmed easily."
The barrister asked if she ever got "angry" or "frustrated" with the baby.
She replied: "No, never."
On the day of Joshua's death, Ms Tautz said he was lying on his back making "baby noises" so she talked to him in English, thinking he was not tired enough to sleep.
When he began "crying very intensively" she decided to pick him up to "make him calm down", she said.
"When I picked him up his face was red. I recognised his face seemed swollen," she told the court.
Joshua did not appear to be breathing and she "got scared" - taking him to the bathroom to try and induce vomiting, the jury heard.
"Everything happened very fast", she said.
"I was absolutely scared. I didn't know what happened to him."
Ms Tautz was arrested on 5 September and in police interviews said she had not had any accidents and denied shaking him.
Jurors were told Joshua died "because of a head injury that caused bleeding in his brain, eyes and other spinal injuries".

Conservative Nusrat Ghani is calling on the Diplomatic Service to offer homegrown bottles "where possible" to help promote the UK's image abroad.
She told MPs that the UK was "missing opportunities" in countries such as Japan, India, China and Singapore where wine consumption was increasing.
Some 44% of wine drunk at government events in 2015 was English or Welsh.
Ms Ghani, whose Wealden constituency in Kent is home to a number of England's 133 wineries, has presented a ten-minute rule bill to Parliament which would give English firms greater presence at high-profile ambassador's receptions around the world.
She told MPs that the English wine industry, which produced five million bottles last year, could compete with the best from across Europe despite its relatively small size.
Domestic firms, she said, were now official suppliers to Downing Street while she believed that the Queen served English sparkling wines at state banquets.
But she expressed concern at what she said was a "lack of consistency" among the UK's 268 foreign embassies, high commissions and consulates towards showcasing homegrown produce.
"Last week I was told our Rome embassy asked the UK industry to sponsor an evening for Tuscan wines. That is simply not good enough. I doubt Italy's outposts here in London serve anything other than Italian wine."
With the UK set to leave the EU, she said British success stories needed as much support as possible to reach a wider audience while also projecting the UK's post-Brexit "brand".
"Article 50 is on its way and this could be seen as the first post-Brexit bill," she said. "As we leave the EU we must grasp every opportunity to find new markets for our products around the world and be imaginative in supporting them.
"I look forward to the very best of our wines creating a splash in Paris, Berlin, Madrid and Rome for that matter and perhaps helping to oil the wheels of the Brexit negotiations to come."
Her bill got an unopposed first reading in the Commons but is unlikely to become law unless it is adopted by the government - ten-minute rule bills are generally used to raise the profile of an issue rather than precipitate legislation.
According to the most recent statement by the Government Hospitality wine cellar, published by the Foreign Office, the cellar contains over 33,000 bottles of wines and spirits, with a total value of £809,990.
English and Welsh wine were the most commonly served in 2015-6, making up 44% of the total consumed. | Serving English wine at UK diplomatic functions could help "oil the wheels of Brexit negotiations", an MP has said. | 39270720 | Summarize the following news within 104 words:

Cooke won the first of GB's gold medals at Beijing in 2008, but since then Lizzie Armitstead has taken over as team leader.
That means Cooke could have to sacrifice gold to Armitstead, with whom she has had differences in the past.
But Cooke said recently: "I know deep down what it takes to win races."
In an interview recorded for Wales at the Olympics, Cooke, who is now based in Switzerland, added: "I have proven through my experience and my results what I'm capable of."
Cooke and Armitstead's relationship was strained at the 2011 World Championships in Copenhagen.
They were in the same GB women's team, with Armitstead the leader.
The team looked well-placed to contend for the title until a crash late in the race separated Armitstead from Cooke up ahead.
They have differing recollections of subsequent events, which saw Cooke set off for the line only to finish fourth, with Armitstead coming home seventh.
Matters came to a head when Armitstead told Cycling Weekly magazine of a furious row once the team had crossed the line, adding: "I've never seen her [Nicole] work for a team-mate. It was a unanimous decision that Nicole didn't do her job properly."
But Cooke says that the pair have now smoothed over their differences ahead of the Olympic road race in London on 29 July.
"Lizzie and I have spoken about what happened in the race [2011 World Championships], what's happened since. I have forgiven for what she did and how she reacted," insisted Cooke.
"And I think in a way it did highlight why we were under-performing as a team.

An astronomy lecturer told the BBC the "little old rock" was not to blame.
Rocks are poor conductors of heat and although they cause fireballs when they streak through the Earth's atmosphere from space, even recent large meteor falls have not started fires.
The Bowie Volunteer Fire Department apologised and said the Twitter post "should have never been made".
The blaze took 15 firefighters four hours to put out and left a crater 12-15 ft (3.7-4.6m) wide and 5-6 ft deep.
Afterwards, a tweet was sent out from the Bowie Volunteer Fire Department account showing a photograph of a crater and a rock, calling it a "possible meteorite strike".
But Greg Redfern, an astronomy lecturer and Nasa ambassador, told the BBC a rock could not be called a meteorite before it is tested by a specialist laboratory.
And, he said, people's perceptions of meteorites were not quite right.
"People have this vision that a meteorite is going to be hot and flaming and it is such a wrong notion," he said.
"When a meteorite has come through the atmosphere it is cooled off way up high. I can't give you a temperature but it would be cool to touch, maybe even cold."
Three years ago, space rocks fell over Russia, injuring nearly 1,000 people but there was no ground fire.
Rocks that enter the Earth's atmosphere from space partially burn up in the air but when they hit the ground they are cold.
Mr Redfern said: "The bottom line is that the fire in Maryland was not caused by that little old rock."
Jonathan Howard of the Bowie Volunteer Fire Department promised in a statement that measures would be taken to ensure there was no repeat of the mistaken report. | Firefighters in Maryland have had to backtrack after blaming a meteorite for a brush fire. | 36144342 | Summarize the following news within 72 words:

This is an attempt to set up what will be called the TFTA (Tripartite Free Trade Area).
It will be signed between the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the South African Development Community (SADC) and the East African Community (EAC).
Now there's been great fanfare in the press about this, mainly pushed by the politicians who are made to look good by this kind of thing.
But the headlines of "Common Market for Africa" or "EU-style bloc emerges in Africa" are misleading.
If the TFTA functions properly, it will be a free trade area, not a common market and certainly nothing approaching what the EU is.
The trouble is not all the players involved function properly themselves.
COMESA still has certain tariffs within it, while inside the EAC (arguably the most integrated of the blocs) there are still issues between Kenya and Tanzania on things like share ownership. And South Africa tends to dominate SADC.
But that's not to say that this tripartite agreement is a waste of time. Free trade from Cape to Cairo has been a goal since colonial times (Cecil Rhodes talked about it) and this agreement is a baby step towards that.
In theory, it'll boost intra-African trade, but that depends more on the capacity of African countries to make what each other want at competitive prices, rather than a simple lowering or scrapping of tariffs between the 26 members.
The devil will be in the details of this agreement. There have been concerns over protectionist measures for local industries and a method of settling trade disputes.
But it may boost intra-Africa trade. At the moment, trade between African countries amounts to just 13% of total African trade. Some academics have said that this tripartite agreement could boost it by 30% over the next few years.
But there will be challenges on the ground. For a start, customs officials and getting across borders is notoriously cumbersome in Africa. Also, manufacturing on a local level needs to be boosted.
The UN said three years ago that the best way to boost African trade was to concentrate on developing local capacity, rather than just lowering tariffs. That way, Africans would have things to sell to each other at prices that are more competitive than outsiders.
If that happens within a new free trade area, that's what would boost intra-African trade. Also there are various disputes between the members of this agreement, from gripes to outright hostility.
So, while there's a good deal of political will behind the TFTA, how it works on the ground will be the proof of the pudding.
And that won't be apparent for months or years to come. Pardon my cynicism, but the three blocs involved in this are by no means functioning perfectly.
With all the hype surrounding this TFTA, you'd think it was the panacea to all of Africa's economic and trade problems. It's not.

The Global Slavery Index 2013 says India has the highest number of people living in conditions of slavery at 14 million.
But Mauritania has the highest proportional figure with about 4% of its population enslaved.
The report's authors hope it will help governments tackle what they call a "hidden crime".
The index was compiled by Australian-based rights organisation Walk Free Foundation using a definition of modern slavery that includes debt bondage, forced marriage and human trafficking.
"A lot of governments won't like hearing what we have to say," WFF chief executive Nick Grono told the French news agency Agence France-Presse.
"Those governments that want to engage with us, we will be very open to engaging and looking at ways in which we can better measure the issue of modern slavery."
The organisation's estimate of 29.8 million slaves worldwide is higher than other attempts to quantify modern slavery. The International Labour Organisation estimates that almost 21 million people are victims of forced labour.
India, China, Pakistan and Nigeria have the highest numbers of people enslaved, the charity said.
Together with five other countries, they account for three-quarters of the total estimated number of people in modern slavery worldwide.
The report said India's ranking was mostly due to the exploitation of Indians citizens within the country itself.
While the highest proportion of slaves is in Mauritania, with many people inheriting slave status from their ancestors, Haiti is second in the index and Pakistan is third.
The new survey has the backing of world figures including former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, ex-British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Mrs Clinton said that although the index was not perfect, it provided a starting point, according to the Associated Press.

"A lot of governments won't like hearing what we have to say," WFF chief executive Nick Grono told the French news agency Agence France-Presse.
"Those governments that want to engage with us, we will be very open to engaging and looking at ways in which we can better measure the issue of modern slavery."
The organisation's estimate of 29.8 million slaves worldwide is higher than other attempts to quantify modern slavery. The International Labour Organisation estimates that almost 21 million people are victims of forced labour.
India, China, Pakistan and Nigeria have the highest numbers of people enslaved, the charity said.
Together with five other countries, they account for three-quarters of the total estimated number of people in modern slavery worldwide.
The report said India's ranking was mostly due to the exploitation of Indians citizens within the country itself.
While the highest proportion of slaves is in Mauritania, with many people inheriting slave status from their ancestors, Haiti is second in the index and Pakistan is third.
The new survey has the backing of world figures including former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, ex-British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Mrs Clinton said that although the index was not perfect, it provided a starting point, according to the Associated Press.
"I urge leaders around the world to view this index as a call to action, and to stay focused on the work of responding to this crime."

EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier had wanted progress on the exit payment, citizens' rights and the Northern Ireland border issue by October.
The Daily Telegraph has reported this could now slip back to December.
But the Brexit department says next-stage talks are on course for October.
A spokesman for the Department for Exiting the EU said: "Negotiations to leave the EU are under way and we have already made good progress on a number of issues.
"As the secretary of state said, it is important that both sides demonstrate a dynamic and flexible approach to these negotiations.
"Government officials are working at pace and we are confident we will have made sufficient progress by October to advance the talks to the next phase.
"On the financial settlement, we have been clear that we recognise the UK has obligations to the EU and that the EU also has obligations to the UK."
The upbeat assessment followed a report in the Telegraph which said Mr Barnier had told a private meeting of ambassadors that the next phase of negotiations would be delayed by two months because of the wrangle over how much the UK owes the bloc.
The report said Mr Barnier had claimed the EU would not talk about trade or the UK's future relationship with Brussels until "sufficient progress" had been made on the other "divorce" issues.
European Commission spokeswoman Mina Andreeva would not be drawn on what was said at the meeting with ambassadors.
At a press briefing in Brussels she said Mr Barnier had publicly acknowledged that "so far limited progress has been achieved in the negotiations" but EU officials were ready to work on the issues over the summer if the UK side provided further updates.
She said European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker was committed to engaging with the UK.
"President Juncker has asked, specifically, the task force on Article 50 to be ready every day throughout the coming weeks, throughout the month of August, to engage with our British counterparts should the UK wish to substantiate their position on some of the cases where it has not happened yet," she said.
"The commission stands ready - we are ready to work - and I cannot speculate beyond that on any timetable because that will depend on the pace of the progress being made." | Brexit Secretary David Davis is confident negotiations will continue as planned after reports that Brussels may delay trade talks because of a lack of progress on the "divorce" settlement. | 40744566 | Summarize the following news within 96 words:

Karena Virginia said Mr Trump approached her when she was waiting for a car outside the US Open tennis tournament in New York in 1998.
She accused the current Republican nominee of grabbing her breast and making objectifying statements about her to other men in his group.
Mr Trump's campaign dismissed the claim as a "fictional story".
"Discredited political operative Gloria Allred, in another coordinated, publicity seeking attack with the Clinton campaign, will stop at nothing to smear Mr. Trump. Give me a break," said Jessica Ditto, a Trump campaign spokeswoman.
"Voters are tired of these circus-like antics and reject these fictional stories and the clear efforts to benefit Hillary Clinton."
Mrs Virginia - a yoga teacher who comes from the New York area - said she expected to be personally attacked by Mr Trump, but felt it was her "duty as a woman, as a mother, a human being, and as an American citizen to speak out and tell the truth about what happened to me".
"Perhaps he will label me just another nasty woman", Mrs Virginia added.
Mr Trump, at the final televised presidential debate in Las Vegas, called his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton "such a nasty woman".
Speaking at a press conference in Los Angeles alongside her lawyer Gloria Allred, Mrs Virginia recounted her alleged encounter with Mr Trump when she was 27 years old.
She said she was waiting for her hire car to arrive when Mr Trump approached her and made comments about her physical appearance to a group of men he was with.
"He said: 'Hey look at this one. We haven't seen her before,'" Mrs Virginia tearfully recounted, saying that his words described her "as though I was an object rather than a person".
"Then his hand touched the right inside of my breast. I was in shock. I flinched."
She told reporters that Mr Trump then said to her: "Don't you know who I am?"
"I felt intimidated and I felt powerless," she said, explaining that the incident left her feeling "ashamed" and that she blamed herself for many years.
Mrs Allred - who is a vocal supporter of Mrs Clinton - insisted that her legal office was not working in co-ordination with the Clinton campaign, and that Mrs Virginia had sought her help to announce the accusation.
She said that there were no corroborating witnesses to the incident, but that Mrs Virginia had recounted the story to friends soon after, and also later to her husband. | A tenth woman has come forward to accuse US presidential candidate Donald Trump of sexual assault. | 37721820 | Summarize the following news within 103 words:
