Ex-prime minister Margaret Thatcher's influential economics adviser, Sir Alan Walters, has died, aged 82.
Sir Alan's return as an adviser led in 1989 to the resignation of Chancellor Nigel Lawson, with whom he had clashed over the exchange rate mechanism (ERM).

(I had the honour of meeting Sir Alan at the Queen Elizabeth Conference Centre in Westminster when I was working as Regional Co-Ordinator with Sir James Goldsmith's Referendum Party).
