Every year, CLPD secretary and former NEC member PETER WILLSMAN issues a delegates’ guide to Labour conference. This will be serialised on Left Futures over the coming weeks, and is recommended for first-time delegates. Here, Peter explains “contemporary” policy motions coming before conference.
Labour Party conference will consider two types of policy motion: “contemporary motions” and “emergency motions” – which can be submitted by constituency Labour parties (CLPs) and trade unions.
Contemporary motions, can be submitted by CLPs until 12 noon on 21st September – emergency motions cover events that take place after this date. This means that it is not too late for constituency parties to decide to submit a contemporary motion.
