- Decision
- Carried
Conference welcomes the changes to the representation to National Women’s Conference which enables all branches to send at least one delegate to National Women’s Conference that came into effect in 2008.
However, this has disadvantaged the very small number of large branches, which emerged following changes to public services structures. Many of these branches have traditionally sent large delegations to women’s conference and have now been restricted to three delegates.
Therefore conference asks the National Women’s Committee to liaise with the NEC in order to increase the maximum delegation size to four for branches with more than eight thousand women members and to five for branches with more than twelve thousand women members.
