UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham Supports Introducing Written Constitution
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has expressed support for introducing a written constitution to establish clear principles for governance and strengthen regional devolution. Burnham, who recently took office, views this as part of a new constitutional settlement aimed at empowering regional authorities. Britain currently relies on statutes, common law, and conventions instead of a single constitutional document. Previous efforts, including a 2015 parliamentary review, found no consensus on codification, and any change would require a lengthy process.
