Provisions of Westminster

The Westminster Provisions refer to a set of constitutional laws established by the Parliament of the United Kingdom in 1931. These laws granted dominions like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand greater independence by recognizing them as self-governing entities within the British Empire. This meant they could make their own laws without needing approval from the UK Parliament. The provisions marked a significant step toward full sovereignty, laying the groundwork for the eventual transition to complete independence for these nations, while still maintaining a symbolic connection to the British monarchy.
