‘The Attorney General is one of the most powerful and influential officers in the British Constitution. They are the chief adviser of the Crown on points of law and the chief counsel for the government in legal proceedings. They also have an important role in the machinery of criminal law enforcement in England & Wales and a wide range of prerogative and statutory powers that they exercise in their capacity of guardian of the public interest.’
