Britain's Labour government would back former prime minister Tony Blair if he were to stand for the job of president of the European Union, prime minister Gordon Brown's spokesman said today.
"It's the prime minister's view that Tony Blair would be a good candidate for any big international job," the spokesman told reporters.
"If Tony Blair decides to stand as president of the European Council, once that job has been created, then of course we will support him."
The new role is due to be created under the Lisbon Treaty which has yet to be ratified.
