Commonwealth Land Party (UK)

It was founded in 1919 by J. W. Graham Peace and R. L. Outhwaite as the Commonwealth League, and was initially associated with the Independent Labour Party.

[1] Outhwaite was a former Liberal Member of Parliament who had sat for Hanley from 1912 to 1918 and a passionate advocate of the single tax policy.

He had some success in persuading Liberal Chancellor of the Exchequer, David Lloyd George to adopt aspects of his views into the Liberal Party Land Campaign.

However, land reform took a back seat at the outbreak of World War One.

It had two candidates run in the 1931 general election, Arthur Rowland-Entwhistle at Burslem and Graham Peace himself at Hanley.
