A referendum initiated by the Labour Party precipitated the creation of a Scottish national parliament in the late 1990s. The referendum, held in September 1997, asked Scottish voters whether they were in favor of establishing a Scottish Parliament with limited powers to make laws and a Scottish Executive to oversee the administration of devolved policy areas. The referendum resulted in a majority of voters voting in favor of the proposal, which led to the establishment of the Scottish Parliament in 1999.
