    Additional information taken from the Socialist Standard Past & Present blog – “The debate in Bromley mentioned at the end of the report was between the SPGB’s Eddie Grant and J. Haigh who were both parliamentary candidates for the Bromley constituency at the forthcoming 1964 General Election. From what I understand – and there’s not a lot of info on the net about them – ‘INDEC’ were an anti-nuclear grouping who had emerged out of elements of CND and the Aldermaston Marches. The title of the debate was: “Which Way To Peace?” SPGB or INDEC’, and the date of the debate was Friday, 8th May 8pm and was held at Bromley Library, Bromley High Street, Kent.Details of election result for the Bromley parliamentary constituency at the 1964 General Election is available at the following link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromley_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#In_the_1960s(For the record, the SPGB candidate received 234 votes and the INDEC candidate received 461 votes.)”

    Most CND members were in favour of Voting Labour. INDEC were CNDers who didn't believe Labour would Ban the Bomb. How right they were (and probably still are, despite Corbyn).
