Proceeding contribution from Bridget Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legal Services Bill [Lords].
Legal Services Bill [Lords]
I cannot say in all honesty that I would accept the amendments on that basis. We have accepted 34 or 35 of the Joint Committee’s recommendations wholly and absolutely, plus another eight at least in part, and have not accepted 14. Given the amount of consideration that we have given to the recommendations, I think that we have been fairly balanced in our approach to the subject. That was the background. No one could accuse us of rushing ahead without a well thought-out or well thought-through policy.
