East Lothian Conservatives have paid tribute to Baroness Thatcher, Britain’s first woman Prime Minister, who passed away on Monday morning.
Cllr Michael Veitch, Deputy Leader of East Lothian Council, said “Lady Thatcher was an inspirational leader and one of the truly great Prime Ministers of this country.” Deputy Association Chairman, Tim Jackson added “She was a strong and determined leader, internationally respected, who inherited a country in decline but fundamentally transformed it to make people proud to be British again.”
