- Description
- Speech by Conservative Party leader Margaret Thatcher to a Party meeting in Lichfield in Staffordshire, responding to a broadcast by Prime Minister James Callaghan in which he announced a delay in the debate of the next general election. She stresses the need for a government with a large majority. Poor quality audio (muffled, and speaker sounds distant).
