Blunkett gets go-ahead for access bid

BRITAIN’S Home Secretary David Blunkett yesterday won the first round of a court battle with his pregnant ex-lover Kimberly Quinn over access to her two-year-old son.

Kimberly Quinn had claimed her physical and mental health were at "significant risk" after Mr Blunkett applied for a contact order over the boy, known as "A" for legal reasons.

But a High Court judge dismissed Mrs Quinn's call for a delay and allowed the case to go ahead.
