Margaret Thatcher and that kitchen

Posted on by

Government papers from 1979, made public for the first time by the National Archives, suggest Margaret Thatcher kept a very close eye on the costs of furnishing her official residence.

The documents reveal how the “Iron Lady” insisted on paying for her own ironing board and dictated that spending on her official residence at No 10 should be as “economical as possible”.
