National Policy Forum - who's who and what's what?

12 July 2004

Roy Hattersley’s assessment of the Labour Party’s National Policy Forum (The forum which is now a farce, 12 July) is widely shared by our members. Its standing could be enhanced by a leadership commitment to re-establishing democracy in the Labour Party, as in Iraq. As a first step to rebuilding trust between leader and members and the wider community, the Labour Party could publish the names and contact details of delegates to the NPF, together with the attendance register at the end July meeting, its proceedings and votes.
