Editing Statute of Westminster 1931 (section)

===New Zealand===

The [[Parliament of New Zealand]] adopted the Statute of Westminster by passing its [[Statute of Westminster Adoption Act 1947]] in November 1947. The [[New Zealand Constitution Amendment Act 1947|New Zealand Constitution Amendment Act]], passed the same year, empowered the New Zealand Parliament to change the constitution, but did not remove the ability of the British Parliament to legislate regarding the New Zealand constitution. The remaining role of the British Parliament was removed by the New Zealand [[Constitution Act 1986]] and the Statute of Westminster was repealed in its entirety.<ref name=SydLaw/><ref>A.E.
