List of Labour Co-operative Members of Parliament
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An incomplete list of Labour Co-operative Members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Following a decision of Co-operative Congress in 1917, MPs were elected as Co-operative Party candidates from 1918. In 1927, the Cheltenham Agreement between the Co-operative Party and Labour Party led to the election of joint "Labour Co-operative" candidates. Whilst many Labour Members of Parliament are also members of the Co-operative Party, Labour Co-op MPs have the express endorsement of both parties.
