Proceeding contribution from Lord Kingsland (Conservative) 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 was extremely happy to hear that the noble Baroness entirely accepts the logic behind both amendments. If there is a difference between us it is whether the text of the Bill satisfactorily expresses what we both wish it to express. The noble Baroness feels that it does, but we have some doubt about that. As we are agreed on the objectives, I hope that the noble Baroness will consider between now and Report whether she is absolutely right in thinking that the Bill covers all the eventualities that we fear might be provoked if the Bill is not absolutely clear. I see the noble Baroness nodding, so she plainly will so act. In those circumstances, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Schedule 11 agreed to. Clause 82 agreed to. Schedule 12 agreed to. Clauses 83 to 87 agreed to. Schedule 13 [Ownership of licensed bodies]: [Amendment No. 108DAB not moved.] Schedule 13 agreed to. Clause 88 [Duties of non-authorised persons]:
