  Controversy over the cost of the funeral; William Hague to the rescue

  

  The cost of Lady Thatcher’s funeral next Wednesday will be revealed afterwards, but the Daily Mirror has estimated it could be as high as £10m. The taxpayer is expected to foot most of the bill, with the Thatcher family agreeing to make an unspecified contribution.
  Foreign Secretary Hague said Britain could “afford” to cover some of the costs.
