The Constitutional Convention Bill would create a formal convention to consider the United Kingdom’s constitution and related issues.

The aim is to encourage broad discussion about constitutional arrangements rather than making immediate changes to the law.
The bill is at the 1st reading stage in the Lords. If it moves forward, it would proceed through subsequent stages in the Lords and then move to the House of Commons for consideration.
