| Abstract
|
:
|
Much of the extensive programme of constitutional reform commenced by the current UK government has been achieved. Devolution is now well established, reforms to the electoral process and political party funding have been addressed, a Freedom of Information Act has been enacted and the House of Lords has been partially reformed. Of the reforms the most significant and far-reaching is the introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998, the impact of which has been felt across numerous areas of domestic law. This book provides a clear exposition of the major features of the UK's constitution and a comprehensive summary of recent developments.
