Neither do I know of occasions where the Attorney General's advice has been published. The Attorney General has a constitutional responsibility to be the legal adviser to the Government. The Government takes that advice into consideration before it makes its decisions. I do not see any change in current practice that might require publication of the legal advice of the Attorney General to the Cabinet of the day. The important thing is that Cabinet decisions are clear, transparent, accountable and debated.
