Blair questioned in cash-for-honors case

LONDON - Prime Minister Tony Blair has been questioned by police investigating allegations that peerages and other honors were bestowed in return for political contributions, Blair's office said Thursday.

Downing Street said the interview had not taken place under caution, which would be the case if Blair were considered a suspect.

Police have been investigating claims that all three major political parties awarded seats in the House of Lords and other honors in return for secret loans. Several senior Labour Party figures have already been quizzed by police, including former Science Minister Lord Sainsbury and Blair's Middle East envoy, Lord Levy.

Campaign funding rules allow those who offer loans — but not donations — to remain anonymous. The Labour Party has said it accepted, but did not disclose, loans of almost 14 million pounds ($25 million) from 12 supporters. The opposition Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties have acknowledged they have also received secret loans.

Blair has been forced to acknowledge some supporters who offered the loans were later nominated for seats in the House of Lords.
