British Prime Minister Tony Blair will say "something definitive" next week about his departure plans, Sky news reported on Tuesday.

Speaking during a TV interview to mark his 10th anniversary in office on Tuesday, Blair said: "I will make my position clear next week. I will say something definitive then."

Blair's announcement would initiate a seven-week leadership process, which might find Chancellor Gordon Brown to be his successor.

Also on Tuesday, the prime minister will set out Labor's achievements in office as the ruling party marks 10 years in office.

He will also attend events in England and Scotland ahead of Thursday's local elections.

However, the latest poll for The Independent newspaper show that 69 percent of people believe Blair will be most remembered for the war in Iraq.

About nine percent say his relationship with U.S. President George W. Bush will be his legacy, while only six percent say he will be remembered for the peace process in Northern Ireland.

Some three percent say he will be remembered by the cash-for-honors scandal, whereas a mere two percent cite his efforts in improving public services.

A total of 61 percent think he has been a good prime minister, compared to 36 percent who view him negatively.
