Bill for honours inquiry tops £750,000
THE bill for Scotland Yard's inquiry into the cash-for-honours affair has topped £750,000.
The figure emerged as bail was extended in the past two days for three key figures - Labour's chief fundraiser, Lord Levy, Tony Blair's aide, Ruth Turner, and millionaire businessman and party donor Sir Christopher Evans - raising the prospect that a decision over charges could be some way off.
Scotland Yard disclosed the inquiry had cost 773,177 between its launch on 27 March, 2006 and 30 April this year. Further inquiries have since been undertaken.
