1. Here's what the BBc has to say: |
|
Blair questioned in honours probe Mr Blair was not interviewed under caution Prime Minister Tony Blair has been interviewed by police investigating allegations of cash for honours. The probe began after it was revealed Labour was given secret loans ahead of last year's election. Some donors were subsequently nominated for honours.
Mr Blair was not interviewed under caution. About 90 people have been interviewed during the police inquiry.
Assistant Commissioner John Yates, of Scotland Yard, has said he expects to deliver a report to the CPS next month.
The inquiry was widened to look at the other main parties.
BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson said it was an extraordinary development but one that had been expected for some weeks.
But he said the fact that Mr Blair was not interviewed under caution was significant as it implied that police did not intend to bring any charges against him.
But he said it was an embarrassment for the prime minister who had promised to make politics "whiter than white" when he came to power in 1997.
