WITH JOHN Edmonds sitting on the fence muttering about not supporting change unless it retains a commitment to common ownership (BBC 15.1.95) the key next stage of the campaign is to strengthen its work within the trade unions.
The delegations to the special conference on April 29 will probably be the same as those delegated to last year's Labour Party conference.
Union activists must do all they can to pass motions in support of Clause IV and in support of common ownership, and ensure the questionnaire being circulated to every affiliated union (which must be returned by March 3) indicates a desire to retain Clause IV in answer to every question.
