Biographical / Historical
Although the Junior Imperial League was established in 1906, most of the newsletters and magazines which survive date from its re-establishment following suspension during the First World War, in 1920/1921. It was reorganised on a constituency basis and fully integrated within the Conservative Party organisation in 1928. Its objectives were:-
- to create a practical interest in political work and organisation among the youth by organising Junior Associations in each Parliamentary Division
- to co-operate with existing Conservative and Unionist Associations in advancing the cause of Imperial unity throughout the Empire
- to uphold constitutional principles
- to further the Conservative and Unionist cause
Following a further period of suspension during the Second World War, the Junior Imperial League was reconstituted as the Young Conservatives in 1946.
