I asked. When did Tony Blair became leader of the Labour Party, and offered the answers 1992, 1994 and 1997.

But this was when he became Prime Minister.

The correct answer was 1994, as that was the year Mr Blair took over the reins following the death of John Smith.

The literature, supplied by Waterstone's, therefore goes to K Woolley of Ransom Avenue, Worcester.
