A Constitution for Britain?

Mr. Graham Allen presented a Bill to provide for the drawing up of a written constitution for the United Kingdom; for its consideration by the people and Parliament of the United Kingdom; and for connected purposes: And the same was read the First time; and ordered to be read a Second time on 19 October, and to be printed [Bill 114].

There's no chance of this bill becoming law (even if it got a 2nd Reading on 19th October - the session is likely to end in early November) - but Mr Allen, a respected writer and campaigner for constitutional reform - and MP for Nottingham North, is again drawing our attention to an issue that deserves consideration.
