Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Constitution.

Constitution

My Lords, on the latter question, there is nothing significant in that; we have been very clear about our position on devolution, which I referred to earlier. As to a written constitution, I have made it clear in the Statement that there are issues to consider about what should be written down and what should be codified that will require the kind of consensus we have described. I am grateful to my noble friend Lord Morgan for raising the very heart of what is being proposed: citizenship.
