Prosperity and work policy commission

Introduction:

The Prosperity and Work policy commission develops Labour’s policy direction and thinking on the economy and welfare. It considers current issues ranging from pensions reform, to rights at work, to how Britain should compete in an increasingly globalised economy.

The commission takes evidence and advice from a wide range of stakeholders and affiliated organisations to form policies that will build a stronger economy and a fairer society.

The policy commission has two main roles. As part of the policy development process the commission engages with local Labour parties, Labour’s affiliates and local communities in producing consultation and policy documents. The second main role is to discuss current issues, submissions from the public, the work of government and to give feedback to party members and affiliates.

Membership
Members of the policy commission are drawn from the National Executive of the Labour Party, Labour’s National Policy Forum and Government.
