Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 6 February 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Legal Services Bill [HL].


Legal Services Bill [HL]

I wonder whether the noble Lord shares my growing suspicion that one of the reasons for the objection to his amendment is that if large commercial organisations are to be granted a franchise, as it were, to open up legal services at all their branches, the Government might think it too much of an imposition to require them to assess the impact in every area where they have a branch.
