The Balfour Report

The Balfour Report of 1926 declared that Britain and the Dominions were "autonomous communities" within the British Empire, equal in status, in no way subordinate to one another in any respect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by a common allegiance to the Crown, and freely associated as members of the British Commonwealth of Nations. This would be given legislative sanction in 1931 with the Statute of Westminster.
