On the specific point, the noble Baroness said: "““I will seek to do so before Third Reading””."
That was a promise made to the House in the course of the deliberations. Did she seek to do so before today’s proceedings? Has she made any attempt to do so? We know the conventions, which have been broken over the years. One could give a series of examples of the law officers coming to another place to give advice. They can do so, so it is not a convention that cannot be breached at all, but I come back to the simple statement that the noble Baroness made: "““I will seek to do so before Third Reading””.—[Official Report, 17/11/2010; col. 792.]"
Did she seek to do so?
