Clause IV - Other Uses

Other Uses

Clause Four was also the name of a campaigning group within the Labour Party's student wing (now Labour Students), which succeeded in ending its control by the Militant tendency in 1974. However the attempt of the Clause Four group to oppose Militant in the Labour Party Young Socialists (LPYS) was a failure, and LPYS was eventually dissolved. Many of the members of this group such as Mike Gapes (MP for Ilford South) went on to support Tony Blair's amendment of Clause Four.
