Norman Tebbit, who served as a cabinet minister in Margaret Thatcher’s government, has died aged 94.

Throughout the 1980s he worked as the chairman of the Conservative Party and led departments including trade and industry and employment.

A loyal ally of Thatcher, Lord Tebbit backed her agenda, bringing in laws designed to curb union power – including making them liable for damages if they did illegal acts.

In 1984, he and his wife were injured in the IRA bombing of the Grand Hotel in Brighton during the Tory Party’s annual conference.

His wife, Margaret was left permanently disabled by the bomb.
