Attorney-General's advice I

The Attorney-General’s unpublished advice on the legality of the Iraq War has long been at the top of the list of unfinished political business relating to the war.

Now according to the Guardian there is new evidence, from a book by Philippe Sands, that Lord Goldsmith was reluctant to commit himself on the issue, and the ‘advice’ was in fact cobbled together in 10 Downing Street by Lord Falconer and Baroness Morgan.

So we still need to ask: what was the full advice that Lord Goldsmith gave to the prime minister in March 2003? Was it accurately conveyed to the cabinet and parliament?
