The hon. Member will be reported in Northern Ireland, so that I had better correct him at once by saying that I have taken the advice not only of the present Law Officers of the Crown, but of the last Law Officers of the Crown, who were equally satisfied that the claim is valid. Everything I have done has been absolutely in accordance with the Law Officers' advice. He must know that at once.
