Who leaked and why?
Police phones tapped over honours inquiry leaks - Times Online
DETECTIVES involved in the cash for honours inquiry had their telephones tapped to find out whether they were leaking information to the media.
While Assistant Commissioner John Yates and his team were investigating Tony Blair and his aides, other police officers were watching and listening to the detectives.
The extensive bugging was carried out amid allegations by Sir Gus O’Donnell, the cabinet secretary, that Scotland Yard was leaking information about the progress of the inquiry.
The leaks included newspaper stories that police were investigating an attempt by some Downing Street figures to pervert the course of justice, and a claim - later shown to be wrong - that Downing Street had a secret e-mail system that had been hidden from police.
Scotland Yard said the bugging operation was the key reason it remains so confident that No 10 was wrong to accuse the police of leaking.

Met officers have accused O’Donnell, the country’s most senior civil servant, of trying to put pressure on them throughout their 17-month inquiry....They say he made at least six calls to Paul Stephenson, the Met’s deputy commissioner, at critical junctures....

O’Donnell told a parliamentary committee last week that he was “puzzled” by suggestions that people connected to Downing Street had tried to hinder the investigation.
Quite, an absolute "puzzle" worthy of Miss Marple herself. Nothing odd about the investigation at all.
