<p>It is a longstanding convention, accepted by governments of all parties, not to
disclose whether the Attorney General has given legal advice or the contents of any
advice. This extends to not commenting on the content of internal discussions in relation
to the Attorney General’s function as a Law Officer and chief legal adviser to the
Government. This convention protects the Law Officers’ ability to give full and frank
legal advice on some of the most contentious and difficult issues the Government will
be considering.</p>
