British welcome Canada constitutional resolution move
London reports that after months of opposition the British government now welcomes Canada's constitutional accord. Justice Minister Jean Chretien said Prime Minister Humphrey Atkins expects a smoother passage as nine provinces signed the accord on Nov. 5. Court actions by Quebec and native groups are not expected to block patriation, though minor delays could occur. The Queen has passed the resolution to her government, with no precise Commons date set.
