HC Deb 15 March 1982 vol 20 c36W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will put proposals to the Commonwealth and State Governments of Australia to terminate the anomaly whereby the Government of the United Kingdom is responsible for advising the Crown on the appointment of Australian state governors.

Mr. Luce

Any proposal to change the present procedure should come from the appropriate Australian authorities. None has been received, although I understand that the question of possible changes is at present under consideration in Australia.
