Sir Ian Blair asked the Prime Minister to relax laws on officers confronting terror suspects just a day before Jean Charles de Menezes was shot dead, an inquest has heard.

Tony Blair discussed "maximising" legal protection with the former Metropolitan Police Commissioner on the day of the July 21 failed bomb attacks on London.

Innocent Mr de Menezes was killed at point blank range by firearms officers the next morning.
