The Labour League of Youth was the youth organisation of the BritishLabour Party from 1926 to the 1960s.[1] Two separate organisations existed, separated by the Second World War, the post-war League being more tightly controlled by the party.[1] In the 1930s the League included far left elements, such as Trotskyists and Communists; the chairman in its last years, Ted Willis, worked with and later became secretary of the YCL.[2] The organisation accepted members from the ages of 16 to 25.
