Blunkett silent on DNA test

FORMER British Home Secretary David Blunkett yesterday remained silent as the row over his relationship with Kimberly Quinn once more grabbed front-page headlines.

Ms Quinn and her Irish husband, Stephen, released a statement on Saturday denouncing Mr Blunkett’s decision to discuss in public the DNA test which proved he was not the father of her month-old son.

Some newspapers quoted unnamed friends of the couple questioning his assertion that he had never claimed to be baby Lorcan’s father, and suggesting that they want him to make a public apology.
