It would also be a damning indictment of the Windsor Framework if it can function only through secrecy and by asking the UK to test, bend or breach the very rules it says that it is operating under. We deserve better in Northern Ireland, and we deserve better in the United Kingdom. That is why I cannot understand why the Government will not publish their legal advice in full. They do so occasionally. Over the weekend, they published their advice on the US jets using British bases, but after months we have heard nothing on this critical constitutional issue. I have to say that the noble and learned Lord, Lord Hermer, the Attorney-General, has been very bad in not even trying to engage on this issue with any of us from Northern Ireland.
