Attorney General’s Office: Conflicts of Interest

Debate between Lucy Rigby and James Wild

Thursday 23rd January 2025 Commons Chamber

[James Wild (North West Norfolk) (Con)]

Under the ministerial code, every Minister has a responsibility to address a conflict of interest or a perception of such an interest. Will the Solicitor General be open with the House about whether, when the Attorney General was appointed, he chose or was required to recuse himself from advising on issues relating to his previously representing clients such as Gerry Adams?

[The Solicitor General]

I have already addressed that point.
