== The Nine-Point Plan == In May 1942 the committee published a ''Nine Point Plan'' on which it had agreed, calling for works councils and the publication of post-war plans for the provision of full and free education, employment and a civilized standard of living for everyone. This plan was the basis for the successful election campaign of Tom Driberg as an independent in the [[1942 Maldon by-election|Maldon by-election]]. Shortly after, Priestley and most of the moderate members left, and under the guidance of [[Richard Acland]] the committee merged with his organisation 'Forward March' to create the [[Common Wealth Party]] in July 1942. Committee members were responsible for the publication of two anonymous best-selling books: ''[[Guilty Men]]'' by Cato (Michael Foot, [[Frank Owen (politician)|Frank Owen]], and [[Peter Howard (journalist)|Peter Howard]]) and ''Your M.P.'' by Gracchus (Wintringham), both published by [[Victor Gollancz Ltd|Gollancz]], which exposed pro-[[fascist]] sympathies amongst Conservative politicians.
