IN view of the expense allowances for MPs, it does now become increasingly probable that Mrs Blair was able to fully furnish the new family house using the John Lewis criteria, prior to the resignation of her husband.

Presumably it would also be a reasonable assumption she received a large discount in order to fund a wardrobe, from the same store(s), for their tour of the world.

I wonder how she has managed to get a release from her duties as a recorder in order to travel?
