Wednesday November 16, 2005
The prime minister has for the first time listed some of his wife Cherie's earnings from public speaking and book royalties in the register of MPs' interests, which was published today.
Royalties from Mrs Blair's book, The Goldfish Bowl: Married to the Prime Minister 1955-1997, are registered, along with fees for speaking engagements in Washington, Australia and New Zealand - although no figures are recorded.
The entry follows recent criticism of Cherie Blair for accepting �17,000 for speaking at an event which left an Australian charity out of pocket."
