Legal Services Bill [HL]

I am not disputing that I will see whether that is reflected. I was, however, making a particular point to the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Wirral. He was concerned that the Legal Services Board would discover the detail of its role through my words in these debates. I would not expect that. However, I do not rule out other mechanisms whereby the Government explain precisely what we are looking for in bodies being established. Many statements have been made by the Government in the course of the Joint Committee’s work on what we seek to achieve. I was making a particular point about my words in this context. The noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, is perfectly at liberty to interpret that as suggesting to the Opposition that there needs to be more in the Bill. I have already undertaken to see whether that is reflected in the Bill, but that is not the only mechanism whereby we have set out, in many circumstances, how we expect particular operations to be conducted by bodies set up by the Government.
