A full Commons debate on the proposed tobacco advertising ban is a possibility following a decision by the Parliamentary European Legislation Committee. The committee wants to summon the Public Health Minister, Ms Tessa Jowell, to explain the British Government's negotiations with the EU about the proposals.
While Conservatives accused the British Prime Minister, Mr Blair, of "deliberately misleading" the public over his handling of the Formula One affair, Ms Jowell will meet the 16-member committee tomorrow.
She will answer questions about the government's claims that 50,000 jobs could be lost in the motor racing industry if the Formula One is not exempted from the tobacco advertising ban.
The committee has not ruled out a full Commons debate if it is not satisfied with Ms Jowell's answers. The Conservative's shadow spokesman for health, Mr John Maples, said Mr Blair had used "diversionary tactics" to deflect criticism of his role in the Formula One affair by demanding an overhaul of the party funding system.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4, Mr Maples said: "The Prime Minister left a lot of questions unanswered and in one respect he seems to have quite deliberately misled all of us. I think that until all these questions are answered we should not allow them get away and divert the argument yet again on some other subject."
Writing in the Times Mr Blair said Labour had committed itself to publishing the names of donors who had made donations over £5,000 - something the Conservative's had never done, he added.
