So the Government is paying the Citizenship Foundation to write a schoolchildren's guide to the British constitution [BBC NEWS | New push for written constitution]. We don't currently have a written constitution, so essentially they will have to write it before they can write about it. A spokesman for the Department of Constitutional Affairs denied this was an underhand way of creating a written British Constitution. "We don't want to look as though we want to create one through the back door". Err... no.
The guide is expected to be published in July. I look forward to it with interest.
