Proceeding contribution from Baroness Butler-Sloss (Crossbench) 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]

I wonder if I can point out to the Minister that I understand very well why ““barrister”” was not included previously. It was because there was a section dealing with the Inns of Court which set out a definition. But once the section that provides for barristers coming from the Inns of Court is removed, it is necessary at the least to have a definition of ““barrister””. Otherwise the Bill would appear to be deficient.
