BAE, the UK's biggest arms supplier secretly paid a $12m commission into a Swiss account in a deal which led to Tanzania, one of the world's poorest countries, buying a controversial military radar system.

The deal was forced through by Blair despite Brown and Short opposing it.

Lord Powell of BAE told Blair that this deal must happen and that any bribe money would be divided evenly between all concerned.
