Bermuda Entrustment (1968, 2005, and 2009)

The Bermuda Entrustment (sometimes called the Deed or Letter of Entrustment) is the memo that describes what powers the UK Government has delegated to the Government of Bermuda. Bermuda is a dependent territory of the UK (formerly known as a colony), and as such, the UK is in charge of all of our external relations. However, when the current constitution was created in 1968, the UK delegated certain authority to the Bermuda Government, mostly around trade and commercial agreements. This download includes the original 1968 version, the 2005 amendment, and the latest version of 2009. (More details on FreshieBlog).
