- description: Sky News has seen documents which suggest Attorney General Geoffrey Cox advised the Government proroguing Parliament was legal. 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". 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.
