Written Question
Rule of Law
Thursday 5th November 2020

Asked by: Marion Fellows (Scottish National Party - Motherwell and Wishaw)

Question to the Attorney General:

What discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on upholding the rule of law.

Answered by Suella Braverman

The freedoms and protections that we all enjoy rely on the rule of law. This is an important constitutional principle which demands: equality under the law; access to independent and impartial justice; government subject to the law; law that is clear and certain.

The duty of the Law Officers is to give the Government full and frank legal advice, and to ensure the Government acts in full knowledge of the legal position. I take that responsibility seriously, and will continue to do so.
