CENTENARY OF THE LABOUR PARTY

Motion Text

That this House notes that 27th February 2000 marks the centenary of the foundation of the Labour Party; recognises the significant contribution that Labour representation over the century has made to society, including the creation of the National Health Service, rights for people at work, the promotion of equality, social reform, greater educational opportunity and a higher standard of living for all; and offers its congratulations to all those men and women in the Labour and trade union movement, in local government and in Parliament whose efforts helped to make these achievements possible.
