Tony Blair has been questioned for a second time by police investigating cash-for-honours allegations. Mr Blair's official spokesman said the prime minister was not interviewed under caution and was not accompanied by a lawyer. The prime minister was first questioned as a witness in December.

Ed Davey MP said "It is clear that this inquiry is going to haunt Tony Blair throughout his last months in office and beyond. What is important at this point is that Labour MPs stop sniping at the police from the sidelines and allow them to continue to do their job professionally. Once again this underlines the significance of securing reform of party funding and the House of Lords at the earliest possible opportunity."
