The most offensive part of this Bill, of course, is the way in which it steamrollers our constitutional settlement, and does so without consent. The Counsel General will be aware, of course, of the Statute of Westminster, enacted in December 1931, which gave independence to the then Dominions. Is it not time, Counsel General, for a new statute of Westminster, that gives us the legal guarantees that our constitutions cannot be amended at will and on a whim by a UK Government that cares not a damn either about our democracy or our constitution?
