Draft New Conservative Party Constitution (3)
A
Draft New Conservative Party Constitution has been issued. I set
out below various comments on particular clauses. I welcome any
comments.
VII-6
49 The Board may, at its discretion, designate an
Association as being in Supported Status.
Should there remain an explicit trigger on membership for Supported
Status? Should there be more of these
explicit triggers? Or should it be fully
discretionary?
INSERT after Status: “if its membership
falls below 100”
There should not be any more explicit
triggers.
50.4 the Area Management Executive may, together with
Officers of the Association, draw up shortlists for the selection by the
Association of prospective Parliamentary Candidates from the United Kingdom
Parliamentary List as defined in Paragraph 7 of Schedule 6 herein.
Delete –
specific provision not needed in this circumstance
Retain this paragraph after
deleting “as defined in Paragraph 7 of Schedule 6 herein.” and insert after
Parliamentary List “after receiving a report on Due diligence on prospective
candidates drawn up by the Committee on Candidates”
VII-8
61 If, after giving the Association
Chairman reasonable time to investigate and remedy the matter, the member
remains dissatisfied, they may report the matter to the Area Management
Executive, which shall have the power to investigate the
matter and take such action as it thinks appropriate to remedy the breach.
Should “reasonable
time” be more precisely defined?
Delete
“reasonable time” Insert “30 days”
63. The Rules of the
Conservative Party Associations, as contained within Schedule 7 or 7a, shall be
reviewed from time to time by the National Conservative Convention which may
propose amendments in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 3. Any
amendments to the said Rules shall be in accordance with the provisions of
Article 91.
Delete:
7a, Delete: “Any amendments to the said Rules shall be in accordance the
provisions of Article 91.”
