About LHG

The Labour Housing Group (LHG) seeks to ensure that housing of the highest possible standard is available for all members of the community regardless of their means.

As a socialist society affiliated to the Labour Party we work within the movement, both nationally and locally, to develop and promote workable socialist housing policies through our members.

If you believe another future is possible for our country and housing – become a member and join us in the fight.

LHG’s Origins

LHG was formed in 1981.

LHG as a Socialist Society

LHG is affiliated to the Labour Party as one of the Socialist Societies. This means that we can send a delegate to Annual LP Conference, and can submit motions to the Annual Conferences. We can vote in elections, such as the election of a Socialist Society delegate to the National Executive Committee. We also attend the meetings of the Socialist Societies Executive Committee.
