The bill would create a process to set up a constitutional convention to consider the United Kingdom’s constitution and related issues. It outlines how the convention would be formed, how it would operate, and how it would report its work. It does not itself make constitutional changes; any reforms would require further action in Parliament or additional legislation.
The bill is at its first reading in the Lords, meaning it is in the very early stage of the legislative process and has not yet been debated in detail.
