Papers documenting Jim Mearns's involvement in the 1994 Labour Party Conference in Blackpool, which he attended as the delegate from the Glasgow Maryhill Constituency Labour Party [CLP]. The collection is mostly comprised of material relating to Mearns's role in the debate over Composite Motion 57, proposed by the Glasgow Maryhill CLP in defence of Clause IV of the Labour Party's constitution, and against proposals to rewrite the party's aims and values put forward by Tony Blair. This includes drafts of Mearns's speech to move the resolution in support of public ownership, social justice, and a 'socialist economic, industrial and social strategy', in which Mearns called for the party to be 'tough on capitalism and tough on the causes of capitalism'. Also included are the minutes of the first meeting of the Campaign for Socialism, founded shortly after the conference to protest against the amendment of Clause IV.
