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 - Shadow Attorney General
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.
