Blair to 'make position clear next week'

British Prime Minister Tony Blair said today that he will make a “definitive” statement next week on his plans to leave No 10 – as June 30 emerged as the likely date for the hand-over to his successor.

Speaking on GMTV in an interview to mark his 10th anniversary in office, the Prime Minister said: “I will make my position clear next week. I will say something definitive then.”
