Information for CLP’s

Important: Every CLP is entitled to send delegates to Annual Conference. Delegate application packs will be sent directly to delegates.

You must be elected by your CLP to attend conference as a delegate, so speak to a role holder in your constituency if you’re interested.

Each year, thousands of people attend Labour’s Annual Conference to make policy, attend some of the thousands of fringe events, and spend time with like-minded people.

Please see the relevant information below for CLP’s and CLP Delegates:
