The last referendum held was the Northern Ireland referendum of 1998. This was a referendum held in Northern Ireland over whether there was support for the Good Friday Agreement.
The United Kingdom referendum of 1975 was a post-legislative referendum held on 5 June 1975 in the whole of the United Kingdom over whether there was support for it to stay in the European Economic Community, which it had entered in 1973, under the Conservative government of Edward Heath. Labour's manifesto for the 1974 general election included a pledge for a referendum, so after Labour won under Harold Wilson, the referendum was held.

The last referendum in the UK was held on 1st March 1979.
Voters in Scotland were asked if they wanted a Scottish Assembly.
Not enough of them said yes, so it didn't happen.
