Proceeding contribution from Lord Whitty (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 21 February 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Legal Services Bill [HL].


Legal Services Bill [HL]

had given notice of his intention to move Amendment No. 114A: 114A: Schedule 15, page 214, line 28, at end insert ““but, for the avoidance of doubt, such persons shall not include approved regulators”” The noble Lord said: I shall not move the amendment, but I want to record my appreciation of the noble Lord, Lord Thomas of Gresford, in moving amendments the other night on my behalf. He and I have not always agreed in these debates but he moved them most eloquently—certainly far more eloquently than I could have done. I also thank the Minister for making it clear that the clause as it stands does not allow a redelegation back to the professional bodies by the back door. I abuse the procedure by making it clear that I shall oppose any amendments that allow redelegation to professional bodies by the front door. [Amendment No. 114A not moved.] [Amendment No. 115 had been withdrawn from the Marshalled List.]
