Asked by: Conor McGinn (Independent - St Helens North)
Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, if he will publish any legal advice sought by or given to the Government on the Unlawful Killing (Recovery of Remains) Bill.
Answered by Jeremy Wright
Advice from the Law Officers is covered by legal professional privilege and is subject to a long-standing convention, which prevents disclosure of the advice (or even the fact that the Law Officers have been consulted) outside Government.
