What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to consider a written constitution for Scotland.

What the petitioner did first

As there is no mechanism to pursue this matter other than through the Petitions Committee, I have discussed this with Gil Paterson, MSP, Martin Docherty-Hughes, MP and Councillor Jonathon McColl, Leader of West Dunbartonshire Council, who are broadly supportive of this action being brought to the Scottish Parliament.

    I have wanted a written, modern and inclusive constitution for all the Scottish people and not the few.
