Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

My right hon. Friend has just used the word "appropriate". I have been looking for it in clause 24, but I think he might instead have been referring to whether in "the opinion of" the Minister a treaty should be ratified. On the basis that that is, indeed, the case, may I just mention a special legal significance? A reference to "the opinion of" the Minister serves as a message to the courts not to interfere with the judgment of the Minister. I want to talk about that later. It is extremely important, because it can take the teeth out of what we are seeking to achieve through our amendments. We want to ensure that Parliament makes the decision, not that it is the opinion of the Minister.
