OVER 360 people, many representing CLPs, attended Labour CND's AGM on February 19, which had to be shifted to the Conference Hall in County Hall.
The meeting was dominated by mounting concern that there was a strong possibility that Labour's commitment to - close all nuclear weapons and to refuse the deployment of nuclear weapons in or by this country would be fudged.
CLPs were urged to write to Michael Foot and to circulate every single member of the executive.
The meeting decided that if the Campaign Statement is unsatisfactory we shall appeal to CLPs and affiliated organisations to demand a' recall Labour Party Conference.
But the consensus was that the time for speedy action was now before the Campaign Document was finalised.
Nuclear It was also agreed that in this election year Constituency Parties themselves should campaign publicly for Labour's disarmament policies to link the image of the Labour Party to nuclear disarmament.
The meeting was lively, controversial, commited and determined. By a majority of nearly two to one, the meeting decided not to apply for inclusion in the Labour Party Register of non-affiliated organisations.
Members of the 1983/4 Executive elected at this meeting are: Pat Arrowsmith, June Berry, Allan Brett, Jim Coutts, Andrew Dismore, Liz Freuthal, Mike Gapes, Bill Hodgson, Joy Hurcombe, Adelaide Sue Joyce Murray, Mo O'Toole, Mike Picken, Peter Smith, Tony Southall, Glenys Thornton, Carol. Turner, Dick Widdecombe, Cliff Williamson, Nigel Williamson, Jane Wirren, Walter Wolfgang, Edna Woodhead.
