London Assembly Arrangements

The fight to retain Clause 4 of the Labour Party Constitution will be in the forefront of the discussions at the London Assembly of Labour which meets this week-end at Denison House, Vauxhall Bridge Road, S.W.1.

As new delegations continue to be elected the strength, power and need of the Assembly emerges. Amongst the fresh branches of the Amalgamated Engineering Union to elect delegates are West Norwood, Wembley No. 1, Edgware No. 2, and Walthamstow No. 2. A mass meeting at Abbey Wood—London's largest building site—has elected six delegates. Workers at Laing's site, Great Queen Street, are sending a delegate. This Thursday and Friday, workers at Brown's, Belvedere, and Jarvis', south-west London, are to hear speakers from the Socialist Labour League on the Assembly. Three new delegations have also been elected from contracting electricians on jobs in London. A delegation of three and six visitors are coming from the Gilbert and Ash job at Sidcup.

Four more delegations have been elected from the Labour Party Young Socialist Groups. One of East London's biggest Labour Parties has decided to send an observer.

East Ham Youth CND and Stanmore CND have each agreed to send two delegates, Croydon Youth CND and Willesden CND are both sending observers.

Miners from Kent will be present, as will tenants from St. Pancras—scene of London's biggest rents battle. Electricians are coming from London airport, clerks from Morden branch of the Clerks' Union and coloured workers from north Kensington.

A number of Communist Party members figure prominently on delegations. Others are coming as visitors, included amongst these is the secretary of a south London Young Communist League branch and some AEU and ETU members.

Make sure you attend on Sunday. Get your friends in the union branch and the local Labour Party to come also.
