Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) 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 am always happy to look. As I have indicated, at the end of Committee stage, I shall be checking things. I want to put on record why we think it works, in the hope that between Committee stage and the next stage we will have had a conversation about whether Members are satisfied that we have that right. If not, I want to be able to get more advice from either parliamentary counsel or legal advisers on why it works, so that we come to an agreement. We are really in the same place, but we think we have achieved it. If there is doubt, of course, I shall look at it again because we want to achieve the same thing.
