“The SLP supports the right of the people of this country to a full return of all the wealth generated by the industries and services of our nation. We are committed to an economy that utilises and values our most precious resource - human beings. We are committed to full employment and the right to work, the right to a properly funded National Health Service free at the point of delivery, the right to a fair pension, the right of all to adequate housing, the right to free child care provision and the promotion of a safe and healthy environment.”
