LONDON, Dec 5 — Britain’s opposition Labour party vowed today to scrap the unelected and “indefensible” House of Lords as part of a constitutional revamp to redistribute economic growth after Brexit.

The party’s blueprint for reform, drafted by former prime minister Gordon Brown, envisions new devolution to the UK’s regions and countries including Scotland, where the nationalist government is pressing for a new referendum on independence. The blueprint is not yet Labour policy. It now goes to a public consultation, with agreed changes set to be incorporated into the party’s next election manifesto.

The 40-point plan’s centrepiece is to scrap the upper house of parliament in its current guise — which is a mixture of political appointees, hereditary peers and Church of England bishops.
