Proceeding contribution from Lord Mann (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]
Far be it for me to be seen as a defender of the legal profession, but will the Minister take into consideration the Government’s self-inflicted scandal in relation to miners’ claims, particularly hearing loss claims? A claims handler called Vendside Ltd—non-solicitors—was allowed to bring forward claims on behalf of consumers, but the consumers then found that there were no regulatory powers in relation to any redress, other than using the civil courts.
