Chair of the Labour Party (UK)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Hazhk (talk | contribs) at 13:26, 12 September 2015 (→List of Labour Party Chairs: presumably the office is vacant. There is no reference to the position on the Labour Party website and it is at best a courtesy position). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Labour Party Chair is a courtesy position created by Tony Blair in the aftermath of the 2001 General Election.[1] The position is not to be confused with that of Chair of the Labour Party under the Labour Party Constitution. As of May 2015, the Labour Party website does not list the occupant of the position.[2][3]
