in 1981, the canadian house of commons and senate passed a resolution requesting that the british parliament enact a package of constitutional amendments which would end the last powers of the british parliament to legislate for canada and would create an entirely canadian process for constitutional amendments. the resolution set out the text of the proposed canada act, which also included the text of the constitution act, 1982. the british parliament duly passed the canada act 1982, the queen granting royal assent on march 29, 1982, 115 years to the day since queen victoria granted royal assent to the constitution act, 1867. on april 17, 1982, the queen signed the proclamation on the grounds of parliament hill in ottawa bringing the constitution act, 1982 into force, thus patriating the constitution of canada. previously, the main portions of the constitution had existed only as an act passed of the british parliament, though under the terms of the statute of westminster, it could not be altered without canadian consent. canada had established complete sovereignty as an independent country, with the queen's role as monarch of canada separate from her role as the british monarch or the monarch of any of the other commonwealth realms.

the future prospects of a devolved english parliament have been raised in relation to the so-called west lothian question, which came to the fore after devolutionary changes to british parliaments. before 1998, all political issues, even when only concerning parts of the united kingdom, were decided by the british parliament at westminster. after separate regional parliaments or assemblies were introduced in scotland, wales and northern ireland in 1998, issues concerning only these parts of the united kingdom were often decided by the respective devolved assemblies, while purely english issues were decided by the entire british parliament, with mps from scotland, wales and northern ireland fully participating in debating and voting. the establishment of a devolved english parliament, giving separate decision-making powers to representatives for voters in england, has thus become an issue in british politics.
