A group led by former PM Gordon Brown says more powers need to be devolved to the nations and regions.
earlier this week that major reform was needed to ensure that "the way we run ourselves is more democratic, less corrupt, and more responsive to the wishes of people from across our diverse nation".
"We recognise the urgent need for working together - locally, regionally and nationally across the UK - to reform our constitution so we can deal with the current economic and social challenges faced in every area of our country." Mr Drakeford said: "We need a new strengthened union which guarantees that no-one will find themselves unable to eat or relying on a food bank; facing old age or illness at the margins of society.
"This is changing with the devolution of power out of Westminster, but in our experience it works best when it goes deep."Meanwhile, Scotland's independence minister has urged Mr Brown to apologise to the people of Scotland, claiming the promises he made alongside then prime minister David Cameron in the lead up to the 2014 referendum have not been kept.
