Labour Party members to debate restoring Clause IV
The Cause of Labour is the Hope of the World

LABOUR members will debate whether to restore the party’s historic clause four motion at their conference this weekend.

Delegates will be able to vote on a rule change that would scrap the current clause four and reinstate to the old version, which commits to socialising the capitalist economy on behalf of workers.

The Star understands that five Constituency Labour Parties voted to endorse the motion.
