 | | In 1976, citing his desire to retire on his sixtieth birthday, Wilson stood down as Labour Party leader and Prime Minister, and was replaced by James Callaghan. | | | James Keir Hardie, who had taken a leading role in getting the party established, was elected as Chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party (in effect, the Leader), although only by one vote over David Shackleton after several ballots. | | | For many years, Labour had a policy of Irish unity by consent, and did not allow residents of Northern Ireland to apply for membership, instead supporting the nationalist Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP). |

| | Labour's Early Days |
| | Steadman, who presided over the Conference, and at the time sat in Parliament as a Liberal-Labour M.P., was Secretary of the Trades Union Congress, but he was not to join the Parliamentary Party. | | | The initiative was taken by the Belfast Trades Council who were anxious to deal with their own brand of political Parties, but the real effect was to bar association with any political Party unrecognised by the Labour Party as an affiliated organisation. | | | Twenty-nine of the Candidates were returned victoriously to Parliament, and on the green benches the new members not only looked like a real Parliamentary Party, but in fact acted as one. |
