Motions to Labour Party Conference
Your CLP is encouraged to submit a motion to this year’s Labour Party Annual Conference along the lines of one of the attached model motions.
Party members are undoubtably well pleased that we now have a Labour government, as this gives us the opportunity to tackle the problems created by the Tories.
To succeed in government and be re-elected we will need to implement progressive policies. The policies put forward in these model motions would help our Labour government succeed.
Unfortunately, this year CLPs only have the right to submit a so called ‘contemporary motion’ to the Conference, due to a recent change to the Party’s rule book.
Model ‘contemporary motions’ for consideration by CLPs are attached here as a MS Word document and here as a PDF file.
The deadline for submitting these motions for Annual Conference is 5pm Thursday 12th September.
To be accepted by the Conference Arrangements Committee (CAC), motions must meet the following requirements:
– Must be an issue that has arisen after the Friday 5th July 2024
– On one subject
– No more than 250 words in length
– Not considered by the CAC as an organisational matter or constitutional amendment.
