Madame President and Members of the Senate; Mr. Deputy Speaker and Members of the House of Assembly; Bermuda has been tested. Our families, systems, and institutions have been confronted with immense strains that have threatened to radically alter Bermuda’s and Bermudians’ way of life.
The Legislature of Bermuda includes:
The House of Assembly, comprising 36 elected members from around Bermuda The Senate, comprised of 11 members appointed by the GovernorIt has three main functions:
The Governor of Bermuda is appointed by Her Majesty The Queen on the advice of the British Prime Minister and holds office during Her Majesty’s pleasure. The Governor is responsible for upholding the Bermuda Constitution.
The Cabinet consists of the Premier and at least six other members of the Legislature.
Bermuda is divided into 36 constituencies, each represented by one member in the House of Assembly. Under the Constitution, a Boundaries Commission is appointed every seven years to examine and, if necessary, to revise the boundaries of these 36 constituencies.
It’s not always easy to understand how a government functions.
Boards and committees are made up of members of the general public and government employees. Members are appointed by ministers or, in some cases, the Governor.
The Attorney-General's Chambers has existed since 1698 and there have been many changes over the years.
