Constitutional Resources (1946-Present)

The Parliament library is engaged in a project to digitize its constitutional resources which have been deposited there for the attention of Members of Parliament.

The Parliament library has always served as a deposit library for papers laid in the Houses of Parliament, inclusive of selected reports of Cabinet-appointed committees and Commissions of Enquiry.

The Parliament understands the renewed and ongoing interest in constitutional reform and in the interest of making its invaluable constitutional resources freely available and more readily accessible to the public. The library will add to these resources periodically.
