Recently the Hampstead Labour Party passed an emergency resolution which it hopes to get debated at Annual Conference condemning the Governmentts White Paper on immigration as being “economically unjustifiable and morally indefensible," The party realises, however, that no matter what happens at Conference, there will be a clear need for some time to come for an honest re-examination of attitudes and principles within the Labour Party on this issue no matter how painful this may be electorally, With this in mind party is organising an aggregate meeting,
The meeting will take place at A.S.L.E.F. headquarters at Arkwright Rd., Hampstead on Wednesday, 22nd September, 8.15 pm. All London constituency parties have been invited to send representatives, as well as many trade union branches in North West London, In the addition Lena Jeger, M.P., Regs Freeson, M.P., David Pitt, Paul Foot, the party trade union lisliaison officer, Ross Pierson (who is himself a white immigrant and opposed to the way the White Paper discriminates anagainst coloured immigrants) have been invited, The purpose of the meeting will not be to discuss the White Paper, but to plan a campaign to reverse its findings in co-operation with any tranch, unit, constituency, or individual member of the Labour Party. And further to give what support is possible to members of Parliament who are prepared to vote against the White Paper.
Enguiries about the meeting and further information can be got from the secretary of Hampstead Labour Party: John Keohane, 24a, Carlingford Rde,
