From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Trinidad Labour Party was a Trinidad and Tobago political party. It played an important role in the Legislative Council between 19xx and 1956. Originally a party of the working class, it became increasingly middle class in its outlook.

Largely a "spent force" by the 1956 General Elections, the TLP merged into the Democratic Labour Party in 1957 (?).
