I thank the opposition spokesman for that question. All the issues he just raised have been well ventilated in the media before now, but I would like to inform the House that the Attorney-General has changed guidance note No. 11 to clarify the procedure for briefing and seeking options from the Solicitor-General. This change is purely administrative. It does not restrict the independence of the Solicitor-General and is consistent with the law and historical practice.
