companies to sponsor Formula One car races, and that his aides went on to help him hide the truth behind the change.秘密文件显示,不过,在几个小时内,他九七年10月16日会见了埃克莱斯顿,布莱尔要求英国改变政策,使烟草公司赞助一级方程式赛车比赛,而且他的助手们又帮助他掩盖真相背后的变化。 Philip Morris菲利普莫里斯 was the是 largest tobacco sponsor最大的烟草赞助商 of Formula One racing.在一级方程式赛车。 New documents reveal No 10’s role in the first scandal to hit Labour in office in 1997新文件显示10号的作用在第一丑闻击中劳工办公室于1997年See excerpts from the documents here: 见摘录的文件在这里: Page 1第1页 / Page 2第2页 / Page 3第3页 Tony Blair

October 16, 1997, and his aides went on to blur the truth.新文件下发布信息自由法案表明,他要求改变政策的几个小时内会见了埃克莱斯顿在10月16日, 1997年,和他的助手们又模糊了的真理。 The affair was the first sleaze scandal of the new Labour era.这件事是第一次sleaze丑闻的新劳工的时代。 At its height, Blair feared the episode would end his premiership and went on television to defend his reputation, saying he was a “pretty straight kind of guy”.在其身高,布莱尔担心这一事件将结束他的总理和电视上去捍卫他的名声,说他是一个“非常直接的家伙” 。 The new documents expose the extent to which he was the driving force behind plans to exempt F1 from Labour’s manifesto pledge to end tobacco sponsorship of sport, pushing a reluctant Department of Health into agreeing.新的文件揭露了何种程度,他背后的驱动力计划免除F1的工党的宣言,承诺年底烟草商赞助体育,推着不愿卫生署同意纳入。 Before Ecclestone’s £1m donation, Labour had planned a universal

31, 1997, states: “The prime minister has made clear his wish to see a permanent exclusion for Formula One from the scope of the tobacco advertising ban.”但是,白厅的书面备忘录于10月31日, 1997年,指出:

Ecclestone.它也表明布莱尔下令乔纳森鲍威尔,他的高级助手,以环乔威尔讨论的问题,晚上,会议后不久,伯尼。 However, the note suggests Blair wanted to name October 29 as the date, to be consistent with his previous public claims that the decision was not taken until two to three weeks after the crucial meeting with Ecclestone.然而,注意到表明布莱尔想名字10月29日的日期,必须符合他以前的公开声称,这一决定是没有考虑到两到三个星期后的重要会议与伯尼。 Civil servants warned: “The draft reply is strictly true in

call on October 16.”但批评者可能认为,答案是缺乏诚意的,总理的意见已经明确传达的电话在10月16日。 “ The papers also suggest No 10 set out to mislead the public, via the media, about the prime minister’s role in the affair.该文件还建议10号规定,以误导公众,通过媒体,对总理的作用,这件事。 A briefing note for Alastair Campbell, then Blair’s press secretary, offers guidance “to dispel the notion that the F1 approach was dictated by the PM alone,

memo from the DTI to the health department, sent in November 1997 when the government was still trying to decide how to implement the ban, says: “We believe it is unlikely that if F1 should leave the UK there would be an immediate effect on the industry as a whole.”备忘录由英国贸易与工业部的卫生部门,发送于1997年11月时,政府仍试图以决定如何执行这一禁令,说: “我们认为这是不可能的,如果车队应该离开英国将有一个直接影响整个行业的发展。 “ The episode took place before political donations had to be publicly declared.这一事件发生在政治捐款,必须公开宣布。 For days, Labour refused to reveal whether Ecclestone had given money to the party.连日来,劳工拒绝透露是否埃克莱斯顿钱给了党。 As the controversy raged about whether government policy had been influenced by a donation, Gordon Brown, who knew of the gift, found himself denying all knowledge in a radio interview.随着激烈的争论是否政府的政策已影响了捐赠,财政大臣戈登布朗,谁知道礼物,发现自己所有的知识否认在接受电台采访。 He was later reported to have returned to the Treasury in anguish, claiming his credibility would be “in shreds” if anyone discovered he had lied.他后来报告已经回到财政部痛苦,声称他的信誉将是“在撕成碎片” ,如果有人发现他撒了谎。 Tracking the donation 跟踪捐赠 January 1997: Ecclestone donates £1m to Labour 1997年1月:伯尼捐赠100万英镑,以劳工 May: ban on sports sponsorship by tobacco
