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, it is, at first blush, rather surprising that it falls to this Parliament to consider the composition of the council of the Law Society of Scotland. In so far as it has the backing of Mr Michael Clancy, the profession itself and the consumer representatives in Scotland, it merits our acceptance in principle. I hope it can be achieved without the consents that the noble Lord mentioned.
