Compensation Bill [HL]
moved Amendment No. 20:"Page 4, line 4, at end insert—" ““(3A) Section 2(1) shall not prevent the provision of regulated claims management services by a person who is established or appointed by virtue of an enactment.”” The noble Baroness said: My Lords, Amendment No. 20 will insert an exemption in the Bill which excludes from the ambit of regulation a person established or appointed under an enactment. This category includes statutory ombudsmen such as the Financial Ombudsman and the Health Services Ombudsman. It was originally our intention to exempt persons appointed by statute who provided claims management services within the definition at Clause 2. This amendment will have the effect of removing statutory office holders from the regulatory ambit in the Bill. I beg to move. On Question, amendment agreed to. Clause 5 [Enforcement: offence]:
