The Empire Parliamentary Association was founded on 18 July 1911. As well as Members of the UK Parliament, the meeting was attended by representatives of the then dominion Parliaments of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Newfoundland and South Africa.
The Commonwealth Parliamentary Association emerged from the Empire Parliamentary Association at a conference in London in October 1948, as Parliamentarians preceded their governments by several months in recognizing the future lay in working together as equals co-operating to build a new world.
In 1968, Nassau, Bahamas hosted the conference.
