The links between the women's organisation and the rest of the Party could be strengthened by the adoption of a formal rules in line with the rest of the Party. through SUCK formal women's organisation will be able to operate in a truly democratic manner and present itself as a recognised force 'I believe that ways should be found to give policy-making powers to constitution and It is only structure that the the women's conis the most crucial, because at the moment we have a set ot rules imposed by the NEC and its officers which don't correspond to the aspirations of rank and file women in the Party. Shambles want women the unions more heavily represented so, how? Who should select our executive? And so on.
It's unfortunate that at this conference we have such a dearth of resolutions on policy for women come as a surprise as it comes from men. Labour did promise to raise child benetits, didn't hear it shouted from the rooftops. It was only raised at the end of the campaign as just doesna look cromote can't promote women.'
