Blair to talk at cleaning show

The former prime minister Tony Blair will be the keynote speaker at an event organised by the ISSA, The Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association.

The announcement was made on the Association's website, which described Mr Blair as having "always been a strong advocate of a values-based, activist, and multilateralist foreign policy." He will make the address at the organisation's trade show on 8 November in Florida. Attendees are invited to submit questions to help "shape Mr Blair's address".

Since stepping down from Number 10 in 2007, Mr Blair has held a series of positions, including working as Middle East envoy for the US, Russia, the UN and the EU.
