It is interesting to see that 'Humberside Voice' is calling for an annual Labour Party policy conference in Hull, Bristol Borough Labour Party and the Labour Group on the Council have been holding a joint policy conference for a number of years. It has now fallen into some disrepute and Wards and affiliated organisations are beginning to send in resolutions calling for the implementation of resolutions passed in previous years. The discussion on such a resolution at the last meeting of the Borough Labour Party was most revealing. Alderman Jenkins, a leading member of the Labour Group, admitted openly that the leadership regarded the conference mainly as providing the opportunity for delegates to "let their hair down and blow off steam." But the prize remark of the evening went to the councillor who said he never thought you could sit down and think out policy - policy just happened ! Hull socialists mst make sure that their proposed policy conference is a properly constituted part of the Borough Party organisation, and does not become just a "blowing off steam" conference.
