LONDON, England (CNN) -- British police have questioned UK
Prime Minister Tony Blair for a second time as part of an investigation
into political party funding, his spokesman says.

Blair was
questioned as a witness for less than an hour at 10 Downing Street last
Friday morning, the spokesman said. Police requested a news blackout on
the interview, which was not lifted until Thursday morning.

Police
are investigating allegations that Blair's Labour Party promised
Lordships -- state honors which come with life-long seats in the upper
house of parliament -- in return for loans to help a 2005 general
election campaign...............More

"Last Friday the Prime Minister was briefly interviewed by the police as a witness. At the request of the police this was kept utterly confidential and, as a result, the press and communications team in Downing Street were not informed. As far as they were concerned nothing had changed.
