But the Daily Telegraph now reports Hazel Blears' resignation as Communities Secretary was triggered by the discovery that she avoided paying tax on the sale of a second property.
The paper says the property had been designated as her second home for the purposes of claiming expenses but was declared as her first home for tax purposes.
