BBC: Former Conservative Chancellor Nigel Lawson has died at the age of 91.
Holding several cabinet posts under Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s, he was seen as one of the most consequential of all post-war UK chancellors.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called him an "inspiration to me and many others".
He is credited with creating powerful entrepreneurial forces in a decade also remembered by many communities around the UK as a time of widening inequality and painful deindustrialisation.
Lord Lawson is survived by six children, including Nigella Lawson, a food writer and celebrity cook. » | Sam Francis & Jonathan Blake & Ben Chu, BBC News | Tuesday, April 4, 2023
