-----as to whether what is proposed is contrary or not to European law.

The confidence and supply agreement states that we will facilitate legislation but it has always been understood, and indeed accepted by the major party opposite, that it does not require a Minister to bring forward legislation which that Minister knows to be contrary to European law and where he or she has been advised to such effect by the Attorney General. We will await her advice on this.
