Former minister Mowlam critically ill LONDON (Reuters) - Mo Mowlam, the former Northern Ireland Secretary who played a leading role in the province's peace process, is critically ill in a London hospital.
"She is here and she is critical but stable," said a spokeswoman for King's College hospital, adding Mowlam's family wanted no more details made public.
Mowlam, 55, a popular and outspoken character, served in Prime Minister Tony Blair's government for four years from 1997 after recovering from a brain tumour.
Before stepping down from politics in 2001, she topped a poll as the public's choice to succeed Blair as prime minister.
Blair shifted her from Northern Ireland Secretary in 1999 to a lesser ministerial job.
