In the Attorney General's advice to the Government last October, he stated that the choice as to whether to progress the occupied territories Bill or have the Government draft a new Bill was a political one. Is the decision not to proceed with a prohibition on the trade of services at this time an operational or policy decision that the Department has made and stands over or is it a political decision?
