<p><br /> David Cameron has raised the prospect that computer hacker Gary McKinnon could serve some of any US-imposed sentence in a British jail after raising the issue with US President Barack Obama at the White House.<br /> </p><p><br /> He said it was "one potential outcome" of senior-level talks between Britain and the US over the fate of Mr McKinnon, who broke into top secret US military computers.<br /> </p><p><br /> The Prime Minister said that the Government had been working with the US ambassador on options "where perhaps some of the (sentence) if there is a prison sentence - is served in a British prison".<br /> </p><p><br /> "That is one potential outcome and I'll be working very hard to make sure that these things are discussed between the two governments and if we can reach a settlement then all to the good. I don't want to make a prediction because there are many difficult issues that have to be worked through."<br /> </p><p><br /> Both Mr Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg have publicly condemned plans to extradite Mr McKinnon to the US - where he faces up to 60 years in jail.<br /> </p><p><br /> Last year Mr Cameron said that if Mr McKinnon, 43, had questions to answer there was "a clear argument to be made that he should answer them in a British court".<br /> </p><p><br /> Authorities in the US want Mr McKinnon to stand trial for hacking into top secret military computers.<br /> </p><p><br /> Mr McKinnon, who suffers from Asperger's syndrome and comes from Wood Green, north London, says he was looking for evidence of UFOs.<br /> </p>
