At its June meeting the Nottingham City Labour Party passed two resolutions on the Rivonia trial, The first, moved by an USDAW delegate deplored the verdicts, and declared support for the South African Freedom fighters, pledged support "by opposing the South African regime and by boycotting South African goods." The second, moved by a Co-op Party deleg-= ate, in addition to opposing the verdicts, called upon the Labour Lord Mayor of Nottingham to cancel his reception for the South African bowls team. Both resolutions went through without opposition. Thus the fight to get the disgraceful reception cancelled goes on, The meeting was also noteworthy for a discussion which took place on the attitude of the Labour Group to a municipal boyeott. The Labour leader's explanation on this question was not accepted and delegates indicated that they would formally move that the Labour Group make a municipal boycott official policy.
