The World - News from Jan. 26, 1986

British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, her government rocked by two forced resignations of Cabinet ministers in two weeks, named Paul Channon to replace Trade and Industry Secretary Leon Brittan. Channon, 50, Brittan’s No. 2 man since 1983 as deputy minister for trade, is an heir to part of the Guinness brewery fortune. Meanwhile, a Harris poll taken for today’s editions of the Observer newspaper said 43% of those surveyed think Thatcher should resign, while 48% said she should stay in office.
