Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) 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]
That is an encouraging response from the Minister, but would she not agree that the power to impose financial penalties—which, as the noble Lord, Lord Whitty, said, will ultimately fall on the consumer—should be the last resort? The amendment proposed by the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, would make it the last resort, only to be used if the other remedies that the Government have proposed for powers for the LSB have failed. I encourage the Minister to develop her thinking along those lines.
