"The Jamaica Independence Act 1962 (c. 40) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that granted independence to Jamaica with effect from 6 August 1962. As a result of the Act, Jamaica became the first English-speaking country in the West Indies to achieve full independence from the United Kingdom. At independence, Jamaica became a member of the Commonwealth of Nations as a Commonwealth realm; prior to this, Jamaica had been part of the West Indies Federation from 1958. With the independence of Jamaica, the Cayman Islands reverted from being a self-governing territory of Jamaica to direct British rule."@en . "Current"@en .
