Negotiations between Conservatives and Lib Dems are set to continue ahead of the unveiling of new plans to tackle the threat of Islamist extremists.
David Cameron is to make a Commons statement on plans to widen anti-terror laws - once measures are agreed.
Tories have called for new powers to seize passports from fighters, while leading Lib Dems have urged caution.
It follows increasing violence in Iraq and Syria and concerns about British fighters returning from the countries.
The prime minister and his Lib Dem deputy Nick Clegg were locked in talks over the weekend after the UK's terror threat level was raised to "severe" from "substantial" on Friday.
The Conservatives have proposed new laws to seize passports and impose temporary bans on fighters travelling home from foreign conflicts.
'Very real threats'Under the proposals, UK nationals suspected of being involved in terror acts would be allowed to keep their British citizenship, but they would be prevented from re-entering the UK for a period of time.
However, the Liberal Democrats have questioned the legality of such measures.
Former party leader Sir Menzies Campbell said rendering citizens stateless was regarded as illegal in international law.
The Lib Dems have said they would only agree to policies that were made calmly, on the basis of evidence and that maintained the liberty of British citizens.
Labour and the police have called for the return of powers that would allow authorities to put jihadists under closer surveillance and to disrupt their travel plans.
Information sharingAgreement has been reached within the coalition on forcing airlines to hand over more information about passengers travelling to and from conflict zones.
Mr Cameron, who will address MPs at 15:30 BST, has said he was concerned that Britons who had travelled to fight with Islamic State (IS) would be prepared to carry out an attack on UK soil upon their return.
The BBC's political editor Nick Robinson said the home secretary already had executive powers to seize passports in certain cases but these powers could be legally challenged and ministers were worried about appeals taking too long and decisions being overturned.
However, he believed extending powers to take away passports permanently was "not a runner", because it risked breaching UN treaties and could legitimise other countries revoking passports in different circumstances.
Instead, he said the UK was looking at working with Germany, Turkey and other countries through which suspected British jihadists travelled to and from the Middle East to alert them to their presence so they could be detained and questioned before setting foot on UK soil.
'Legally proper'Sir Edward Garnier, a Conservative MP and barrister, said there were existing laws to prevent certain people - including potential terrorists and football hooligans - travelling abroad.
However, he said there were legal issues around the prospect of rendering people "even temporarily stateless" and he said the new measures needed to be carefully considered.
"If we make announcements that we cannot follow up on in a practical sense then we make promises we can't keep," the former solicitor general told BBC Breakfast.
"What we have to do is balance what is the right thing to do - and there is an expectation the government should be doing more - against what is legally proper to do."
IS militants have seized huge swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq and have been condemned for the mass slaughter of religious minorities in the region, including Iraqi Christians and the Yazidi community.
In the latest development, Iraqi forces descended upon the besieged town of Amerli in northern Iraq, where IS militants had trapped thousands of civilians.
The apparent breakthrough came amid fresh US air strikes on IS positions. On Sunday, 15 IS fighters were said to have been captured.
