Meeting in London on Saturday last, the steering committee of the Centre for Socialist Education decided upon an important programme of activity. Nationally, a weekend teach-in on "The Labour Government and the Trade Unions" is to be convened in London early in 1966. This will be followed by other teachwins on major questions of the day.
