The World - News from Jan. 27, 1986

With her government’s future in jeopardy, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher indicated that she has no intention of resigning. “I think I will know when it’s time to go,” she said in an interview on British commercial television. “I do not think that time has come. I would like to go on to a third term.” Two of her top Cabinet ministers, Defense Secretary Michael Heseltine and Trade and Industry Secretary Leon Brittan, have resigned in a dispute over the government’s handling of a rescue effort for the ailing Westland helicopter firm. Thatcher faces an emergency debate on the matter in the House of Commons today.
