British Leader Seeks to Quell Party Rebellion By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 2:22 p.m. ET LONDON (AP) -- Prime Minister Tony Blair narrowly defeated a rebellion in his governing Labour Party Tuesday against plans to increase university fees. A last-minute campaign to secure backing for the much criticized legislation paid off when 316 lawmakers voted in favor, while 311 voted against. A defeat would have been Blair's first in Parliament since taking office in 1997. The victory offered Blair a brief reprieve during one of the tensest weeks of his leadership. On Wednesday, a senior judge is due to publish a report into the death of a weapons adviser caught up in a controversy over the government's justification of the war in Iraq.
