Summary

'On a gloriously sunny afternoon in July 2006, my world suddenly fell apart … Everything I had fought so hard for on my journey from a one-room flat in an impoverished corner of east London … seemed suddenly - and very publicly - about to be torn away'
Lord Michael Levy hit the headlines with his involvement in the alleged 'cash for peerages' scandal that rocked Tony Blair's government. He was cleared of all the allegations made, but on the way his name and reputation were dragged through the media. Now, he tells his side of the story for the first time.
Highly revealing about the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, and about repercussions from those turbulent months that are still impacting on Brown's government today, A Question of Honour is an explosive story from one of our era's most fascinating individuals. Lord Levy tells here, for the first time, the whole inside story of the 'cash for peerages' scandal, including his own arrest and questioning, the role of fellow 'witnesses' and 'suspects' from Blair to Jonathan Powell, Ruth Turner and Sir Christopher Evans. It is an explosive story from one of our era's most fascinating individuals.
