§ Mr. Peter DuncanTo ask the Advocate-General on how many occasions she has been formally consulted by the Scottish Executive in each of the last two years. [45358]
The Advocate-GeneralI have not been formally consulted by the Scottish Executive because that is not my role. As Law Officer I give legal advice to the Government. The Scottish Executive receives legal advice from its Law Officers——the Lord Advocate and the Solicitor General for Scotland.
