The World - News from March 25, 1986

British opposition party leaders demanded that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher explain newspaper reports of her dealings in shares in an Australian company. Thatcher’s office has denied any wrongdoing on her part, and she refused to comment after the Mail on Sunday said that she bought and sold shares in Broken Hill Proprietary, a major oil and steel company, in 1983 and 1984. The newspaper said she made a profit equivalent to $3,450 on shares purchased through an aide.
