So he lied after all? More than 10 years on, The Sunday Telegraph has presented evidence that Tony Blair deliberately intervened to exempt Formula One racing from the ban on tobacco advertising.
In a funny way, the apparent lie is even more shocking than the one he told in the House of Commons about Saddam Hussein's non-existent weapons of mass destruction. That's because this one came barely three months after New Labour had swept into power promising to be "whiter than white", compared to the Tories who, after 18 years in office, were sleazy, discredited and deservedly on the way out.
