Clapham Labour Party
London Labour Party

The Clapham Labour Party was formed in 1918, three years after the formation of the London Labour Party. Prior to that date it had been a branch of the Independant Labour Party.

These papers were originally those of John Rose Battley F.R.S.A., J.P., member of the Clapham Labour Party and President in 1939. He was also a member of the London County Council. In 1936-37 he was nominated for the London Labour Party Executive Committee Local Trade's Councils and Labour Parties section and he was the first Labour Parliamentary Candidate for the Clapham Labour Party in 1940. Battley owned Battley Brother Printers business in Queenstown, established in 1923. This company undertook the majority of the printing work for the Clapham Labour Party during Battley's involvement with it and still exists today.

Accession gifted to the Archive in September 2000.

Records relating to Clapham Labour Party. The collection includes minutes of Clapham Labour Party's executive committee and general management committee as well as information on borough and LCC elections. The correspondence referring to Dr MacGregor Reid (President of the Clapham Labour Party in 1926, d 1946), his alleged attack on other Labour and Socialist Parties and ensuing enquiry is especially engaging. However, the records also mention the Battersea Division and contain correspondence of the London Labour Party and national Labour Party. Of particular note are the official Labour Party posters reflecting policy on topics such as farming, coal strikes and the family and its publications about issues such as refugees, Soviet wartime policy and Palestinians in Israel.

The records have been arranged into the following series: LMA/4284/01 Administration; LMA/4284/02 The Labour Party.

These records are available for public inspection, although records containing personal information are subject to access restrictions under the UK Data Protection Act, 1998.
