SWEEPING plans to reshape Britain’s economic and political landscape have been set out by Labour’s commission on the future of the UK.
Key recommendations from the panel include abolishing the “indefensible” House of Lords and more powers for devolved nations including Scotland - both ideas that have been floated several times in the past by Labour and not been delivered upon.
The commission - headed up by former prime minister Gordon Brown - has proposed replacing the unelected upper chamber with a “smaller more representative and democratic” assembly of the nations and regions, although details would be a matter for further consultation.
