From Militant, No. 700, 18 May 1984, p. 13.

THIS WEEKEND’S Labour Party Wales Conference will be overshadowed by the miners’ strike.
Shamefully last year the Welsh party was the only regional Labour Party to endorse a witch-hunt against Militant supporters.
Fortunately this year the agenda is free from such divisive motions and indeed many resolutions look in a positive manner to the way forward for the Labour Party.
Cardiff Central calls for full support for the NUM and a massive investment programme for the coal industry. The same CLP, in a separate resolution, calls for effective economic socialist proposals.
Other excellent resolutions call for; full support for Liverpool council (SEA), workers’ democratic control of the NHS (Caerphilly CLP), a 24 hour general strike against anti-union legislation (South Glamorgan Labour Party), a socialist policy for FE students (Ceredignon & Pembroke North CLP), and a campaign to attract working class women to the party (Swansea East CLP).
Marxists are also standing, in the various sections, for election to the regional executive committee: CLP South Wales section: Lynne Cuthbert (Caerphilly CLP). Affiliated organisations: Andrew Price (Socialist Education Association). Tony Wedlake (Cardiff West) and Richard Morgan (Aberavon) have been elected on from LPYS regional conference.
