This Bill would require a supermajority of 'Yes' votes for any referendum on constitutional change to be carried. In effect, a simple majority would not be enough—the Yes votes must reach a higher threshold defined in the Bill. It applies to future referendums on constitutional change and is currently at the 2nd reading stage in the Commons.
