Commonwealth: Member States' Constitutions (Hansard, 17 October 2002)

HL Deb 17 October 2002 vol 639 c69WA 69WA

§ Lord Laird
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Which members of the Commonwealth must refer constitutional change to them for ratification; and, in each case, what type of change is involved. [HL5925]

§ Baroness Amos
No member state of the Commonwealth need refer any constitutional amendment to the UK Government for ratification as membership of the organisation is confined to sovereign states.
