Legal Services Bill [HL]

I thank the Minister and ask her to reflect, between now and Report, on whether we should put some more restrictive words in here. The Bill states that, "““The Board may do anything””," without real limit, except so far as, "““the carrying out of any of its functions””," is concerned. Although the noble Lord, Lord Neill of Bladen, is quite right—I, too, recognise these words—I am not sure that they are particularly appropriate in the context of this legislation. I hope that the Minister might have another look at the wording.
