Legal Services Bill [HL]

With respect, I quite understand what the noble Lord, Lord Whitty, is saying. This issue arose with the use of the phrase ““raising the threshold”” on the Liberal Democrat Benches regarding when the LSB could intervene. That was in the context of the concept that the LSB’s function was to respond to a complaint, particularly from the institution of which the noble Lord is chairman, but not, so to speak, to intervene otherwise within the general province of the regulators. I think that the noble Lord objected to that limitation on the grounds he gave, which I hope he now understands were perhaps not well conceived.
