Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell of Alloway (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 January 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Legal Services Bill [HL].


Legal Services Bill [HL]

On a matter of principle, I draw the attention of the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, to Amendment No. 79. I know that it has to do with licensing, but it could have to do with anything else: "““The Secretary of State may, by order … establish a body to hear and determine appeals from decisions, made by a person specified in the order in the person’s capacity as a licensing authority””." Does my noble friend really think that for the Secretary of State to appoint a body of persons, unspecified and at his discretion, to deal with and determine appeal, is at all appropriate machinery? I would just like to know whether my noble friend has any ideas about it.
