The Manager of Opposition Business stated that a legal opinion doesn't apply unless it's a statute. Well, it goes further than that. It says:

Legal opinions, such as the interpretation of a statute, or of an international document, or of a Minister's own powers, should not be sought in questions.

So it is further than just that in relation to legislation.
