Communists of China and Britain discuss Marxism

The Communist Party of Britain was represented by General Secretary Robert Griffiths, Chair Liz Payne, International Secretary John Foster and Political Committee member Ben Chacko.

Communist Party general secretary Robert Griffiths wrote the following letters to all MPs, MSPs and MSs.
