Monday 26th September 2011
Due to the lateness of counting the votes on the contemporary motions the results were not declared on Sunday but were announced in the morning the successful motions were:
• Health and Social Care
• Housing
• Jobs, Growth and Employment Rights
• Public Services
• Phone Hacking
This meant that the Milton Keynes CLP contemporary motion on the August Riots did not go through.
The Refounding Labour card vote result from the previous day was also carried.
Glenis Wilmott MEP Leader of the EPLP spoke to the European Parliamentary Labour Party Report.
There then followed the Britain in the World – International Development debate with speakers such as Harriet Harman MP Shadow International Development Secretary, Jim Murphy MP Shadow Defence Secretary, who announced a new £1 membership rate for members of the armed forces, and Douglas Alexander MP Shadow Foreign Secretary.
The Welsh Report followed with Peter Hain MP Shadow Welsh Secretary and Carwyn Jones AM First Minister of Wales speaking to the report.
The Prosperity and Work Debate had Ed Balls MP Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer as the keynote speaker, followed by John Denham MP, Maria Eagle MP and Liam Byrne MP
Before Ed Balls had made his speech during the debate 16 year old Rory Weal a Kent Delegate stole the show with his passionate speech which got a lot of media coverage.
There then followed a vote on the Britain in the World Policy Commission Report which I voted in favour of.
The Scottish Report was lead by Ann McKechin MP Shadow Scottish Secretary, and Iain Gray MSP Leader of the Scottish Parliamentary Labour Party.
There then followed the Prosperity and Work Policy Commission Report Composite Motions which I voted in favour of.
After Conference ended I voted for Rose Burley and Kevin Hepworth for the National Constitutional Committee CLP Section.
