When were referendums first introduced in Britain?

There is no specific law governing referenda in the UK. The earliest local referendums in the UK were held in Scotland in 1913, on the issue of alcohol prohibition, under the Temperance (Scotland) Act 1913 (repealed in 1976). Referendums at parish-level, by voter initiative, were first legalised in 1972. Like all referenda in the UK these are non-binding - a referendum is only binding if the law calling for it explicitly says so.The first major referendum was held in 1973 in Northern Ireland, amid a nationalist-led boycott, asking if the country wished to remain in the UK or join the Republic of Ireland. The result was 98.9% voting to stay in the Union, with 58.1% turnout. Similar referenda on devolution or to increase regional power have since been held in Wales (thrice), Scotland (twice), North-East England and Greater London. The first referendum to successfully change the law was the 1997 Scottish devolution referendum.The first nation-wide referendum was held on June 5, 1975. It asked voters if they agreed with the Government's decision to join the European Economic Community, with 67.2% voting "Yes" on 64.% turnout. This referendum was not binding, and would not necessarily have led to a change in the law.The first binding nation-wide referendum was held on May 5th, 2011, asking voters if they wished to use the Alternative Vote system for elections to the House of Commons. 67.9% voted "No" on 41.9% turnout. If there had been a "Yes" vote, the referendum would definitely have been followed by legislative action and electoral reform by 2015.
