Proceeding contribution from Lord Maclennan of Rogart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 8 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legal Services Bill [HL].


Legal Services Bill [HL]

My Lords, I express my gratitude to the Minister for giving further thought to the issue. It was dealt with at some length at an earlier stage and she has canvassed powerful arguments for the point of view she has been expressing. As she has described, there are powers. I acknowledged this in my opening remarks, but begged leave to doubt whether they were sufficiently targeted to the problem of complaints. In the circumstances I beg leave to withdraw my amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 335 and 336 not moved.] Clause 122 [Jurisdiction of the ombudsman scheme]: [Amendment No. 337 not moved.] Clause 125 [Parties]: [Amendment No. 338 not moved.]
