5:04 pm
speaking after the same referendum in 2014, he was overheard saying meanwhile, mcilory is four over par the queen had purred down the line on the first day of the pga championship at wentworth. when he spoke to her englishman matt wallace leads the way. he finished seven under par, about the result. a shot clear of henrik stenson. robert kubica is going to leave the williams formula 1 team he said that was a mistake at the end of the season. he only returned to f1 for which he had apologised, full—time this year, eight years after he was almost and said perhaps he'd already killed in a rally crash. the pole has secured the team's only point this season, said too much. as they prop up the constructors championship. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those boris johnson might have appreciated him saying a bit less, stories on the bbc sport website. specifically when speaking that's bbc.co.uk/sport. about his motivations we will see you a bit later on. thanks gavin, look forward to it. during the eu referendum campaign. more now on the supreme court in the end, ultimately, hearing wherejudges i think he put what was good will rule early next week for his political career ahead on whether borisjohnson's decision of what he actually thought to suspend parliament in the run up was right for the country. to brexit was lawful. not a charge mr cameron ben brown is in westminsterfor us. would accept about himself. he maintains his decision to hold the eu referendum was the correct with more on the hearings. the 11 thing to do but some of his former colleagues disagree. we started a series of meetings supreme court justices with more on the hearings. the 11 supreme courtjustices are now about whether to offer considering the judgement. supreme courtjustices are now considering thejudgement. it is supreme courtjustices are now considering the judgement. it is a judgement they know will have huge a referendum on europe,
5:05 pm
and i was against because i thought implications for the prime minister and the government but also for this it would split the conservative party and put business offside, having done so much work country's unwritten constitution and to get them on side, the balance of powers between the and fundamentally we might courts and the government and lose the referendum. parliament. lady hale presiding if he follows convention, interventions like this are likely to be reasonably rare judge said that "none of this is from david cameron but what he said this week may have already added easy" and they will reach their decision as soon as human a more upheaval in turbulent times. possible. this is what she had to say at the end of three days hearings. i must repeat that this case is not about when and on what terms the helen catt, bbc news, westminster. united kingdom leaves the european union. the result of this case will not determine that. we are solely concerned in a moment we can get with the lawfulness of the the view from westminster prime minister's decision with our chief political correspondent, vicki young, to advise her majesty to prorogue but first our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell is outside parliament on the date in question. buckingham palace for us. as we have heard, it is not how unusual a reaction from the a simple question. palace is that? it is unusual and i and we will now consider carefully think from this pleasure we can read all the arguments which have been presented to us. it was a sharp displeasure and this comes from the queen herself. they but we also know that this case must be resolved as will not use that word without quickly as possible, reflecting her thoughts. i would and we hope to be able to publish our decision imagine she feels pretty let down by
5:06 pm
david cameron. however, we should early next week. thank you, again, one and all. not assume david cameron was the the court is now adjourned. sole instigator of putting the whole thank you. idea into the head of the queen that she might say something. we know she president of the court and one of ca res she might say something. we know she cares deeply about the country of the 11 supreme court justices which he is head of state. this is president of the court and one of the 11 supreme courtjustices who are now considering thatjudgement. the only subject she has made a semi let's chew over what they will be political speech in 1979 when she trying to decide now for some we have two legal experts. told the house of commons that she here with me now is drjoelle grogan, a senior lecturer was crowned queen of the united at middlesex university, and i'm alsojoined by professor kingdom. younger members of the jeff king, legal adviser for the house of lords constitution royalfamily at kingdom. younger members of the royal family at the time of the constitution committee. scottish referendum were also expressing unease and wondered if there were some way in which their feelings might be registered. david —— constitutional affairs committee. first of all to you jeff king. the cameron comes along and says what he judges were worn today by the said. that might have been government's moyer not to stray into significant or decisive in persuading the queen that it was ok to say something. we have this what he called "forbidden territory and typical minefield was quote but supposedly impromptu remark which do you think they will?” was quite deliberate. 0n the face of and typical minefield was quote but do you think they will? i think that the judges will be extremely
5:07 pm
it, the head of state urging people cautious when they decide what is a to think carefully about the future. but in the heart for the scottish justice of both question or a referendum it was taken to be think question appropriate for them to carefully about the implications of answer and will only make a legal separation. the reason they are view if the evidence so clear that displeased over there of course, this reopens what the queen said at it supports the legal finding. they the time of the scottish referendum are precisely the time she has been will steer clear of extremely broad drawn into such a highly questions and exercise some controversial, prorogation of restraint. you will probably only parliament. 0ver there, they are get a judgement on the merits if the uncomfortable about both of these evidence is credible. and joe well, things. thank you. vicki young in let's put that to you. do you think westminster, we have heard david cameron say there was nothing this is compelling for what you've heard? i will echo jeff a lot and improper in asking the queen to what he has just said. the raise an eyebrow or a quarter of an eyebrow. but what is the reaction in heard? i will echo jeff a lot and what he hasjust said. the key question, the two key questions is westminster on that? it is highly two parts which is first, the court be asked and answered this question? unusual. if you think about the and i would say they see might they relationship between the head of state, the queen and her prime have been convinced. i am also ministers. it goes back to 1952, saying that i am not a betting woman and this is not a bet. to my mind it winston churchill, the first prime seems they would append convinced minister for winston churchill, the first prime ministerfor her. winston churchill, the first prime minister for her. those weekly
5:08 pm
audiences they always have, meeting but then convinced by the merits, in buckingham palace and it is based they may be convinced that they on discretion. you hardly ever hear could answer the legal and difficult a word coming out of those questions. but if they got to that conversations. that is what is at port of understanding —— point of the heart of that relationship, the understanding, could then have queen can give advice if you want to enough evidence of a bad motive do, she can talk about her wealth of willfully misleading for another experience over all of that time. reason or and this is the key one the other point though, as you say, for me, establishing that there is the convention is she is kept out of such a dreadful constitutional effect that it is offending those politics and in this sense, it sounds as if david cameron may be fundamental principles of democracy pushed her a little bit too into all of the parliament? back to jeff of that. he sounded as if he king. if we go on the hypothesis for regretted talking about it, because just a moment professor king that it is not the done thing for a prime actually they say this is a matter minister to talk about what the queen has said to him or her. but for them, they do say that the prime minister has acted unlawfully in the current prime minister was asked suspending parliament, what would whether he thought david cameron had put the queen in a difficult they then do, what do you think they position? not only do i not comment would lay down in a course of on conversation i may have held with action? it is incredibly difficult her majesty, but i don't comment on to tell. i can clarify what the conversation she may have had with options might be. this is about the anybody else. i just conversation she may have had with anybody else. ijust don't think i should go down that route. sometimes
5:09 pm
question of remedies. they could snippets to emerge from the declare the ministers advice, the prime minister is advised to be conversations between politicians and the queen and it was reported unlawful, or they could quash the that when boris johnson went to see order in council and quashing it the queen for the first time as means to extinguish it means that parliament is not effectively prime minister, he came back to prorogued right now. the difficulty downing street and said to one of the advisers that she said to him, i with quashing the advice that's presented is that it puts this don't know why anybody wants this job. thank you both very much. current status of parliament and makes an uncertain and it would not i am joined now in the studio be clear whether parliament is adjourned or what status it and what by dickie arbiter, former press spokesman for the queen. before we talk about the events of mps need to do to reconvene. does the actual referendum year in 2014, the queen need to issue a let's talk about now, what do you proclamation, does the premise or make of david cameron saying these issue any advice? that is the issue things at this point? david cameron quashing the queens order which is looking for publicity to sell his create the prorogation. the thorny book because the publishers have issue presenting that the prime minister's advices unlawful is that paid a lot of money and amazon have discounted it by 30% and the it is not clear in legal doctrine publishers want their money back so weather that has the knock on effect they will use any means to get as of making the queen's order also unlawful. unlawful. — — much publicity as possible. ouch! of making the queen's order also when we are hearing from the palace, unlawful. unlawful. —— unlawful. this would create a lot of problems.
5:10 pm
an amount of this well you know buckingham palace and it operates, joelle, if you were a betting woman, what would you say if they do go is it sharp displeasure coming down the road of saying that the prime minister has been unlawful directly from her majesty?” what follows ? prime minister has been unlawful what follows? if they say that it is is it sharp displeasure coming directly from her majesty? i do agree with him. it has gone unlawful, i think they might unwritten convention where prime exercise a degree of caution to ministers do not discuss what has been discussed with members of the declare it to be unlawful. but then royalfamily been discussed with members of the royal family and he been discussed with members of the royalfamily and he has donejust leave it probably to the executive that. not just once, royalfamily and he has donejust that. notjust once, several times. to make the next steps exactly as jeff has set, the difficulty with if you remember the results of the mandatory order is that the clearing that one or the other organs of scottish referendum, he called the queen and he claimed she purred down state, the government or even the the telephone. absolute nonsense. to queen have to do something, that suggest to a private secretary he might ask the queen to raise an ta kes queen have to do something, that takes us into very difficult eyebrow, even by a quarter of an constitutional waters. jeff king inch, it is nonsense and he is in speaking of constitutional waters, is all of this because we have an cuckoo land to even suggest that. to unwritten constitution and there is drag the cleaning totally this huge grey area and in a sense unheard—of. this comment she made perhaps it is time for the supreme going to church or at church, then court to make a judgement? you have to think carefully about the future, is a perfectly anodyne statement. you say that, but perhaps it is time for the supreme court to make ajudgement? on clarifying on what some of these
5:11 pm
according to, and he is a former great areas are? yes. the essential prime minister, he had a conversation with her private debate amongst many scholars and secretary, he had a conversation politicians and think tanks is with her majesty and his private whether there is something virtuous secretary had a conversation with about the british constitution in which it allows those grey areas to her private secretary, you say it is cuckoo land, but obviously be resolved through portable contest or whether there is something conversations did happen. they say defective about it and that it they happen. don't you believe him? weaves so many grey to say he asked the queen to raise defective about it and that it weaves so many grey areas open and allows the executive to take advantage of the situation in every case. my own view is i tend more to an eyebrow by a quarter of an inch, isa an eyebrow by a quarter of an inch, is a bit far—fetched. if someone the latter. that's an area that is would have asked her a question and contested in politics and it will continue to be so. and joelle from she ignored it, they would have been middlesex university, if we have a screaming headlines, the queen snubs written constitution and it says parliaments can only be prorogued or the scots. she was asked about the suspended for say two weeks or three weeks, it is all way down, would referendum and it was a bland, you that make life so much simpler? this have to think about the future. the will be the great question i hope huge constitutional questions into which the queen has become embroiled for a generation of constitutional in recent days, notjust this one lawyers inspired by this. a written but the question that is currently constitution wouldn't necessarily solve these questions unless all of before the supreme court, how do you
5:12 pm
the details were laid out. thanks to think, as somebody who knows her, both of you. and professorjeff king this impacts her sense of her own role in an unwritten and great and joelle from university college constitution? she will be feeling london. chewing over some of those very let down by her prime keyissues london. chewing over some of those key issues which the 11 supreme ministers, firstly by david cameron court justices are key issues which the 11 supreme and now boris johnson, courtjustices are going to be ministers, firstly by david cameron and now borisjohnson, dragging her into prorogue in parliament, not discussing and gathering amongst themselves although they do all have just for a week, but several weeks. ideas i am sure and we heard from some of their questions during the she will feel let down. all the three days and perhaps got clues as prime minister she has had, none of to which way they may be leaning but them have put her in this sort of they will be talking amongst position. she will get out of it themselves and trying to come up with that reticle judgement early because she is very pragmatic and she doesn't necessarily question but next week. that is the latest from here at westminster. back to you for she doesn't necessarily question but she will hope the politicians can get her out of this and get some thank you. something sensible, whether it is an providing care for people with learning disabilities a nswer to and autism is one of the many something sensible, whether it is an answer to brexit or whatever. the challenges the nhs david cameron thing will blow over, in england is facing. people will buy the book or they the government wants more people to receive treatment in the community, won't buy the book. dickie arbiter, thank you forjoining us. rather than in hospital. but the latest figures show over 2,200 people were being treated as inpatients turning to the question we were last month, despite government pledges to end such treatment. discussing with dickie, this 0ur social affairs correspondent
