This suggests that either (1) there's more to this than compliance with WTO rules or (2) the AG concluded that the proposed course of action was unlawful & the Govt were considering proceeding regardless. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
In short, a breach of international law is still covered by the Ministerial Code. But as @SirJJQC points outs, if it's a question of law, that is for the Attorney General.https://t.co/gmEEiBjquz — PolitiTweet.org

On the subject of free trade, remember this? There seems to be a curious inconsistency between what the PM says and what he does. https://t.co/4VR5U1jKaS — PolitiTweet.org

So much for Brexit being about 'free trade' as the PM loses his Ethics Adviser because of a desire to break WTO rules in order to put illegal tariffs on steel. — PolitiTweet.org

The Govt's case for not breaching international law is 'necessity' because of an 'imminent peril' and the need to act urgently. Not much urgency here. — PolitiTweet.org
