David Cameron gives backing to £15million Thatcher museum


The Prime Minister said the ambitious project, to be modelled on the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in California, would “ensure [Lady Thatcher’s] legacy lives on”.


His public backing is likely to boost support significantly from other ministers and leading figures for the Margaret Thatcher Library, to be based in or close to Westminster, and which will run training courses and exchange programmes with overseas students.


It will also house artefacts from her time in power - 1979 to 1990 - likely to include a selection of her suits and handbags.


Mr Cameron said: “During her life Margaret Thatcher believed in action - and this memorial will produce real results for generations to come.


“I am delighted that young people will be able to come to the Thatcher Centre and learn about her achievements, and ensure her legacy lives on.”
