Lord Henley
The noble Lord makes a very valid point about the importance of intelligence, and why we do not necessarily want to risk losing that intelligence by making use of it as evidence. I am grateful to the noble Lord for his support, and I look forward to being slapped around on this by noble Lords from all sides of the House for months to come.
Lord Campbell-Savours
Is there a precedent anywhere for Governments having published independent legal advice?
Lord Henley
My Lords, as the noble Lord will be well aware, it is the general rule that legal advice is not published.
