Iran: Israel
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government whether ministers have sought legal advice following the escalation of violence between Israel and Iran.
- Answer
-
Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office Ministers receive legal advice as appropriate. It is long-standing practice that Governments of all colours do not disclose the fact that legal advice has or has not been given, nor the content of any such advice. This practice provides the fullest guarantee that government business will be conducted at all times in the light of thorough and candid legal advice.
