PM to be interviewed by police

It has emerged today that police have questioned forty eight people about the 'cash for honours' scandal. The Police have stated that they would go “anywhere this investigation leads”.

Tony Blair will also be interviewed and questioned by police before September.

The Deputy Assistant Commissioner John Yates has been informed by a committee probing Labour funding that they wish to contact him for an interview. Mr. Yates was informed that this could possibly be very unhelpful for the party by their chairman, Tony Wright.

Leading up to last years election the Labour Party received £15 million which was raised in loans rather than declarable donations. Tony Blair continues to maintain that he takes full responsibility for how the Party raises funds. Peerages were then offered to certain businessmen who had loaned money.

Because of the millions of pounds that Lord Levy raised for the Labour Party since Mr Blair was elected as PM, it has earned him the nickname 'Lord Cashpoint', he was also the key figure who negotiated the loans.
