Bill Of Rights Secretary Of State
1,115 words
Britain has never relished doses of constitutional
reform, although they have accepted the drip-feed
of frequent, unpalatable and ill-fated local

reinforced in recent decades. The 1974 Labour
government proposed an ambitious program of
devolution for Scotland and Wales. It was a
luckless policy, not least because of Labours

Scottish devolution is being argued with renewed
vigour. Its consideration is li...

concentrated on European defence against the
Warsaw Pact countries. However, since the collapse
