Sunday 25th November saw a most interesting development in Labour Party politics at the Grosvenor Hotel, Manchester. 30-40 L.P. militants, mostly from the Manchester area but including comrades from London, Nottingham, Hull and Banbury met to consider further plans in the 'Unity' campaign that has already achieved a measure of much necded national unity amongst the Party's various left groupings. Three aims needing attention were agreed upon. Nationalisation. A campaign to extend nationalisation, espe cially to those industries where the unions concerned were keen and could swing other unions' support at conference. This campaign to be 1 nked with schemes for Industrial Democracy (Workers Control). COi.. ON MARKET. This was thought to be a productive field of action but delegates did not scem cager to consider co-ordinated reaction in the event of Gaitskell suddenly finding the terms of entry acceptable. Some common plan se’ms a priority to be pressed . this otherwise hopeful and growing organisation. In the discussion on Defence and PARTY DiMOCRACY an appeal was made that the left in CLP's should repeatedly enquire through thcir constituencies, the stcps being taken by the N.E.C. to set up the appeals committee favoured by last Conference.
