Legal Services Bill [HL]

Clause 6(2)(c) will now read: "““such other matters as the Lord Chancellor may from time to time direct””." Will the Minister give an example of the ““other matters”” which the Government have in mind that the board might deal with in their annual report? Under Clause 6, the annual report is said to deal with, "““the discharge of the board’s functions””," and, "““the extent to which, in the Board’s opinion, the Board has met the regulatory objectives””." Under paragraph (c), do the Minister and her colleagues have in mind the sort of ““other matters”” that the board might deal with from time to time or is this just a typical sweeping-up provision to catch anything that the board might want to do from time to time, in which case I have my usual concerns about these sweeping-up paragraphs?
