Margaret Thatcher

Remarks to Scottish Conservative candidates

Document type: Speeches, interviews, etc.
Venue: Perth, Western Australia
Source: Scotsman, 17 May 1977
Journalist: Anthony Pledger, Scotsman
Editorial comments: Available on CD-ROM only. MT spoke with Scottish candidates off the record after her speech. Unusually one of her PPSs (Adam Butler) placed the conversation on the record two days later, contradicting reports (eg, The Times, 16 May 1977) that MT had given a private pledge at the meeting that there would eventually be an Assembly in Edinburgh.
