Prescott remains in hospital
Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott remains in hospital after falling ill as he travelled by train from his Hull constituency to London on Saturday.
Mr Prescott, who celebrated his 69th birthday on Thursday, is not thought to be in serious danger, but is undergoing tests as a result of a suspected chest infection.
Last week, he returned from a tour of America and the Caribbean, where he visited Jamaica and Barbados.
Mr Prescott has generally enjoyed robust health with only a few bouts of illness, but had been admitted to Castlehill hospital in Hull on Christmas Day last year suffering from a kidney stone.
He is in the finishing straight of his ten-year stint as Deputy Prime Minister and will leave office along with Prime Minister Tony Blair on June 27.
