Thank you for that response. The record will show, of course, that the Assembly didn’t actually cede to the threat of legal challenge at that time, and indeed that the Government didn’t proceed with launching that legal challenge. The Government argued, and you argued at the time, that a dangerous precedent would be established here. But the truth is that there is plenty of precedent in parliamentary practice internationally already in existence, where Parliaments can insist on the publication of important reports.

Of course, there is another report in the pipeline, dealing with the same circumstances—the very tragic circumstances, of course. So, what is your advice to the First Minister on the need to move as quickly as possible to publish the details of the remit of that other inquiry?
