Referendum on electoral reform

Yesterday's Guardian reported Labour's commitment to hold a referendum on
electoral reform if it wins the next election as a new pledge.  Forgive me
if I'm wrong, but wasn't it in their 1997 manifesto?  As I recall, they
commissioned a report from Roy Jenkins, then shelved the report and reneged
on their manifesto commitment, although no one seemed to care too much at
the time.

I think the alternative system being proposed this time is the Alternative
Vote rather than the hybrid system proposed by Jenkins.  (Not that it
matters much, given Labour's chances of winning the next election.)
