Queen "concerned" about the Constitution

The comments came after a report in the Daily Telegraph claiming that the Queen is becoming concerned that the Constitution might underline her role as monarch.

The Palace has asked for documents on the Constitution to be passed to them.

However, both No. 10 and Buckingham palace said they did not recognise the report.

The London-based campaign group Vote 2004, which is fighting for a referendum, welcomed any sign of a softening in Mr Blair's position.

Campaign Director Neil O Brien told the EUobserver, "it's good that for the first time the Government are admitting that there might be a need for a referendum".

"Even the Prime Minister's top advisors are telling him his refusal to give voters a say is now untenable. He should listen to them urgently".
