Wise's loss of position (as Vice-Chair) might just have had something to do with Ine act inat sne wasn t ahar present and that her record of attendance at EC meetings left something to be desired"
She must also know the facts. Audrey Wise didn't attend this AGM and sent her apologies. She didn't attend a number of EC meetings because they were held mid-week in London. Audrey Wise was nne of the neonle who complained about this practice, and the fact that it effectively CALlUUCU affantinolu avoluran number of EC members from meetings. It was changed at the AGM.
Why then the attack on her? Because she also complained that the EC was auening cne pouc or lne dinkine tha malino of tha previous AGM unequivocally to oppose witch-hunts, and fought against it; because she argued that the LCC should take part in Labour Liaison 82.
Significantly the ILP don't query such statements in my report as: 'Over the last year they (LCC) have equivocated on the witch-hunt.. , or the view that the LCC has shifted "to the right" . The quibbles in their letter, and this main issue, says every- thair failure In doal with LICH JaHUIG W úCa WIV thing about the ILP.
