Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell of Alloway (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 6 March 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Legal Services Bill [HL].


Legal Services Bill [HL]

The noble Baroness has just dealt with the question of principle, but what is the justification for imposing a levy at all? The Government want to introduce a regulatory system, but why should they impose a levy on those concerned rather than meet the costs themselves? Is this a sort of political justification to generate consumer confidence, or something like that? Can she deal with the justification for this?
