Proceeding contribution from Lord Neill of Bladen (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 January 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Legal Services Bill [HL].


Legal Services Bill [HL]

Can the Minister clarify what she has just now said twice, about independence not being on the face of the Bill but somewhere else? The place where you would expect to find independence being protected, with this new framework being created, is in the Bill itself, so that readers could see it was there. Anything that is not in the Bill does not carry the will of Parliament.
