Downing Street refuses comment on Blair's Rolls Royce engine plea to Bush
Downing Street has refused to comment on a report that British Prime Minister Tony Blair has personally lobbied U.S. President George Bush to overturn a decision to cancel the F136 engine.

The Financial Times reported that Blair made a "very forceful" personal plea in a video-conference call between the two leaders, which came just days after Mr Blair sent a letter to Mr Bush outlining his case.
