Brown's pensions row rumbles on

Tony Blair defended Gordon Brown today as the chancellor faced a vote of no confidence over his 1997 decision to remove a pensions tax break. The Conservatives are trying to capitalise on Mr Brown's difficulties after a newspaper used the Freedom of Information Act to discover Treasury officials' advice to the chancellor about the issue.
