            <text>&lt;p&gt;The Baroness Young, with her humble duty to The Queen, begs to draw attention to the Advice of Her Majesty’s Government of the United Kingdom that it is in agreement with the proposals contained in the Request and Consent legislation which the Federal Government of Australia intends to introduce in order to sever certain residual constitutional links between Britain and Australia. The Federal and State Governments of Australia are in agreement to remove the links and the Federal Opposition has endorsed the proposals. Would Her Majesty be pleased to accept this Advice?&lt;/p&gt;</text>
