The below Parliamentary question was asked by Catherine West on 2016-04-28.

To ask the Attorney General, what discussions he has had with the Home Secretary on the UK’s membership of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Jeremy Wright

I meet regularly with Ministerial colleagues, including the Home Secretary, to discuss important issues of common interest, including domestic and international human rights law. I am not able to provide information about any legal content of those discussions because, by longstanding convention, the fact that the Law Officers have advised, or have not advised, and the content of their advice is not disclosed outside government.
