We are the party of constitutional reform and we are proud of our achievements. Over the last decade, Labour has transformed the political landscape and devolved power away from a centralised state. Devolution has transferred important responsibilities away from Westminster to the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and London and to local authorities. House of Lords reform has removed the majority of hereditary peers. The Human Rights Act has enshrined fundamental rights, putting them at the heart of our domestic legal culture. The Freedom of Information Act has established transparency as a mechanism for empowering the individual against the state.
