Blair questioned by police
Writing about web page http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6179911.stm
Tony Blair has been questioned by police in relation to the “cash for honours” probe. It was not under caution and he did not have a lawyer present. He was questioned (according to BBC News) as a witness and not as a suspect. Questioning a current prime minister in relation to a criminal investigation, however, is an unprecedented move.
The outcome of this investigation could be very interesting. I have never seen a criminal investigation in which the government is so involved.
