LABOUR DEMANDS GOVERNMENT ACTION ON PARTY DECISIONS
LONDON, March 12. Possibly the most far-reaching resolution among the 300 already set down for discussion at the fortyseventh annual conference of the British Labour Party, is one from the Lewisham branch (Mr Herbert Morrison’s constituency) demanding that when Labour is the governing political party all decision pf the party conference should be binding upon the Government. This bluntly raises a vital constitutional question as to who is to govern—the Labour Party conference or the elected Government., So far Cabinet has avoided a direct clash with the conference on this matter, but if the Lewisham, branch proceeds with its remit this may shortly be precipitated.
