Tony Blair’s personal role as prime minister in halting the Saudi arms sale bribery investigation is revealed in court documents which the Guardian is publishing in full on its website.

Government memos stamped “Secret” reveal that the then attorney general, Lord Goldsmith, twice tried in vain to stop Blair interfering in the criminal investigation.

His chief of staff told the cabinet secretary, Gus O’Donnell, on October 3 2006: “The attorney general is of the firm view that, if the case is in fact soundly based, it would not be right to discontinue it.”
