You could try the CWU website for a general search but if you want more specific information it might be worth trying on Google or listing the sort of information your looking for on here. Hopefully if you narrow the subject someone may have info they can post on RMC.

Ok, thank you. What I am after is the amount of money the CWU currently gives to the Labour party, and as a proportion of our dues... And also how much has been given the past, say, 5 years...

The last I knew only a small % of the ten pence weekly political levy goes to the Labour Party how much that is real money terms I dont know. Most of it is affilation fees which unions have to pay if they want to be affilated members of the Labour Party.

KPP campaign will I imagine be funded from the political fund.
