THE Campaign for Labour Party Democracy is circulating model resolutions for the coming Labour Party regional conferences. This week we publish the model resolutions on the Parliamentary Labour Party and on the rights of Constituency Labour Parties.
Parliamentary Labour Party "Conference supports proposals to increase co-operation between different sections of the Labour Party and. promote the unity necessary for victory at the next General Election by:
1) incorporating the Standing Orders of the Parliamentary Labour Party into the Party Constitution, and adding tó - them a commitment to implement Labour Party policies.
2) providing for the major decisions of weekly meetings of the Parliamentary Labour Party to be taken by recorded votes which are made available to all the Party's affiliated organisations."
Rights of Constituency Labour Parties. "This Conference upholds the longstanding rights of Constituency Labour Parties to select parliamentary candidates of their own choice and to decide on membership applications. Conference calls on the Party's -National Executive Committee to respect these elementary democratic rights and to endorse duly selected candidates, except in cases where rules have - clearly been broken."
