Leak documents show Attorney General advised PM that suspension was 'lawful'
Sky News has seen documents which suggest Attorney General Geoffrey Cox advised the Government proroguing Parliament was legal.<br />
<br />
The UK's highest court, the Supreme Court, has ruled the advice given to the Queen by Prime Minister Boris Johnson to suspend Parliament was "unlawful, void and of no effect".<br />
<br />
The government acted in "good faith" and believed the prorogation of Parliament was "both lawful and constitutional", a spokeswoman for the Attorney General's Office said.<br />
