Blair: First British PM questioned by police
Couldn't happen to a nicer poodle.

It emerged yesterday that Mr Blair was interviewed as a witness for 45 minutes last Friday, but Downing Street had kept it secret due to a police request for a media blackout lasting a number of days.

During that time, Lord Levy, Labour's chief fundraiser, was arrested on suspicion of giving misleading or contradictory evidence.

Scotland Yard's inquiry was sparked in March last year following complaints that wealthy individuals who lent money to bankroll Labour's 2005 general election campaign were later nominated for peerages.

Four people have been arrested and many of Mr Blair's closest allies interviewed by police, but there have so far been no charges.

Mr Blair repeated his pledge to leave as prime minister before the end of this parliament, but insisted there were still initiatives - including health service reforms - which he wanted to see through before going.
