HL Deb 06 November 2003 vol 654 cc139-40WA
Lord Morgan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether progress has been made in consulting the people of Bermuda on the procedures to be adopted for considering future proposals for amending Bermuda's constitution.[HL5326]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

Pursuant to my reply on 3 March 2003 to my noble friend Lord Campbell-Savours(Official Report, col. WA 78), the Governor of Bermuda has, on 2 November 2003, initiated a public debate in Bermuda on this subject, by publicising and distributing widely a consultation document seeking comments from political parties, organisations and interested individuals by 31 December 2003. Copies of this document have been placed in the Library of the House.
