Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Video Recordings Bill (Allocation of time motion).
Video Recordings Bill (Allocation of Time)
My hon. Friend's officials may not be legally qualified. They may be the greatest people in the world, but my hon. Friend is a Minister in the Government and the Attorney-General is the chief Law Officer. I am not trying to trip my hon. Friend up; I am merely trying to establish the facts. If there were a problem relating to legality, surely the Department would have contacted the Attorney-General. It is not a secret. A question could have been tabled to the Attorney-General. Did the Government go to the Attorney-General and ask for her advice?
