Conservatives Fight to Save Thatcher Collection

By Published on November 5, 2015

LONDON, United Kingdom – Senior Conservatives have intervened to prevent the largest collection of Margaret Thatcher’s possessions from being broken up and sold piece by piece. The collection of clothing and personal items was due to be auctioned after the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) refused to display them.

Around 350 items were due to be sold by the auction house Christie’s on 15th December, including Thatcher’s dresses, personal gifts from President Reagan and a Prime Ministerial dispatch box. But following pressure the V&A has backed down and agreed to “research” how it might keep the collection in the UK and put it on display to the public.
