Sets up a massive showdown with the House of Commons which passed a binding motion which called for "any legal advice in full" to be handed over.
Crucially that is not what the motion which was passed demanded.
Looks like MPs will be given a summary of legal advice, not the actual legal advice.
As others have pointed out: John Bercow said the legal advice motion "is not just an expression of the opinion of the House; it is an expression of the will of the House that certain documents should be provided to it".
@Keir_Starmer: "It's completely unacceptable for Number 10 to point-blank refuse to publish the full legal advice on the withdrawal agreement... Labour will use all the mechanisms available to force this information to be published."

But I think it will make many MPs ask one question: What does the Govt have to hide?
"It would be impossible for Government to function if we create a precedent that the legal advice that the Government receives has to be made public."
