UK Constitutional Reform: What Has Worked and What Hasn’t?

25 March 2021 - 26 March 2021

Time: 12:00 - 5:00pm

Bringing together leading constitutional experts and politicians from the United Kingdom and around the world, the conference examined the following questions:

• Did the reforms deliver what their proponents claimed they would? 
• Have the reforms generally improved governance, or added further complication? 
• Have the reforms helped to unite the kingdom or driven further division? 
• Have reforms enhanced or obscured accountability?

The programme consisted of 8 panels spread over two half days, complemented by a keynote address from the Rt Hon Robert Buckland QC MP.  

 

The conference was supported by Research England’s quality-related Research Strategic Priorities Funding, the Mile End Institute, and the School of Politics & International Relations (SPIR) at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL).
