ABSTRACT
As we noted at the beginning of this book, there has been both continuity and change in the constitutional arrangements of the United Kingdom. During the first Blair Administration from 1997 to 2001 we witnessed an unusual amount of constitutional change by the standards of this country over a relatively short period of time. It is clear that the drive for constitutional change under New Labour is by no means over, although what we can expect under this heading during the second Blair Administration seems likely to be less ambitious than the programme of constitutional reform from 1997 to 2001.
