Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) 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, as the noble Lord says, the amendment seeks to entrench in the Bill the functions of the Lord Chancellor so that those functions could be transferred only by primary legislation. The amendment is deficient in that it does not provide for all of the Lord Chancellor’s functions in the regulation of the legal professions to be entrenched. The Government have decided that all these functions should be entrenched, and if the noble Lord will bear with us, a government amendment follows this group which I think will satisfy him completely.
