 Sections 7 to 10 of the Statute were omitted because they dealt with matters specific to other Dominions of the British Commonwealth.The act further declared that "the Parliament of the Union shall be the sovereign legislative power in and over the Union," and that no act of the British Parliament would extend to South Africa unless extended by an act of the South African Parliament.This went further than the Statute of Westminster, which allowed the British Parliament to legislate for the Dominions at their request and with their consent.
