Papers want end to Diana debate

Version 0 of 1.

The papers devote many pages to Lord Stevens' inquiry into the Paris car crash which killed Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed.

The Times is adamant that the report has demolished claims of a conspiracy.

The "cold, clear facts" have taken the sting out of the many theories, the Daily Telegraph claims.

The Daily Mirror says it is time for closure, while the Sun says the princess was "not murdered, not pregnant, not engaged".

Peerages 'shame'

The timing of Tony Blair's interview with detectives investigating claims of "cash for peerages" also features.

The Daily Telegraph says Downing Street hoped to "bury the bad news" by choosing the same day as Lord Stevens published his Diana report.

The Independent and the Financial Times say the questioning of Mr Blair by police is an humiliation.

The Daily Mail speaks of "the shaming of Downing Street", but the Sun insists the prime minister is "in the clear".

MI5 resignation

The Times senses a mystery behind the news that the head of MI5, Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller, is stepping down after just four years in the job.

It claims the circumstances of Dame Eliza's departure are unclear.

The paper says she has enjoyed a reputation for competence, although she suffered criticism for not preventing last year's terror attacks in London.

She has overseen the transformation of MI5, the paper says, with a new focus on Islamic extremists.

Postal closures

Plans to close 2,500 rural and urban post offices in 18 months also features in many papers.

The Daily Mirror says pensioners' groups have accused the government of having "blood on its hands".

The Guardian says it is the fastest closure programme in the history of the network and it will be slashed to about 11,700 branches.

Mobile vans will visit some villages and other services offered in pubs and village halls, the Daily Mail says.
