Delegates from and affiliated to Edinburgh Northern and Leith Constituency Labour Party made the most of their opportunities to contribute to this year’s Conference.

First up on Saturday was the Women’s Conference.  Co-chair and delegate Frances Hoole had our CLP’s motion on incontinence pads included in the period poverty composite which will now go forward to the Scottish Women’s conference.
