The hon. MEMBER: will appreciate that I am not now debating the merits of the advice which was offered, but am only considering whether that advice reached the King through the proper constitutional channels. I am suggesting that it is not necessary to make any unsupported allegation that this advice was given to the King through unconstitutional channels. We know for a fact that at least three or four Ministers of the Crown, whose duty it was to express their opinions to the King—as their subsequent conduct showed—would certainly have given such advice to His Majesty.
