National Union of Conservative and Constitutional Associations

Not to be confused with National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations.

The National Union of Conservative and Constitutional Associations (NUCCA) was an organization set up by Benjamin Disraeli. It is considered to be a precursor to the modern Conservative Party conference. Unless otherwise stated, details of Chairmen and Presidents of the NUCCA are taken from British Historical Facts 1830-1900 by Chris Cook and Brendan Keith or from British Political Facts 1900-1994 by David Butler and Gareth Butler, as appropriate.
