Blair 'has no recollection' of Belhadj rendition case

Tony Blair has said he has no memory of the Belhadj rendition case and claimed he was not aware of any occasion when his Government breached its opposition to the tactic.

Mr Blair defended the security services as doing an important, dangerous job, one which he said generally deserves the "full support of the country".

The former PM, who sat in No 10 from 1997 to 2007, said co-operation with Libya against terrorism had been "important".
