I can't believe that we are having this discussion yet again. However, the party constitution states:
Quote:
|
14.3 The Discipline Committee shall comprise the Party Secretary and the delegates elected for this purpose at the Party Conference and shall be chaired by the Party Secretary.
|
Quote:
15 DISCIPLINE
15.1 The Party shall establish a Discipline Panel comprising the Party Secretary and up to twelve delegates approved by the annual conference. Specific hearings shall be conducted in accordance with the Rule Book, by the Party Secretary and a minimum of four members of the Discipline Panel. Serving members of the NEC may not be nominated for election to the Discipline Panel, and elected members of the Discipline Panel must resign if elected to the NEC.

In other words, the party conference must vote to approve the Discipline Panel. Does anyone remember voting on this issue?
