British Prime Minister Tony Blair has been questioned for a second time by police investigating allegations of cash for honours, his official spokesman said today.
Mr Blair was questioned as a witness for less than one hour at 10 Downing Street, London last Friday morning.
The police requested a news blackout on the interview, which was not lifted until this morning.
Police are investigating whether Labour and other parties promised Lordships in return for loans.
Downing Street refused to comment on the content of the interview, which came a few days after the January 19th arrest of Mr Blair's close aide, Ruth Turner, on suspicion of perverting the course of justice, and shortly before this week's arrest of his chief fundraiser, Lord Levy, on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Downing Street said it was not known whether Mr Blair would be questioned again, saying that was "a matter entirely for police".
He was not under caution and was not accompanied by a lawyer for Friday's interview, said his official spokesman.
The only people present were Mr Blair himself, a Downing Street note taker and an unknown number of police officers.
Mr Blair was previously interviewed by detectives in December, on the day he departed for a week-long tour of the Middle East. Following Friday's interview, he left London for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
