Legal Services Bill [Lords]

Perhaps that is an interesting reflection on a change of personnel. All that I can say is that when I spoke to a representative of Which? when the White Paper came out, they were very complimentary about barristers’ approach to professional standards. Which? said that it wanted barristers’ skills to be brought to the new office for legal complaints. It is important that we do not lose those skills, because one thing is sure: no one will be better at finding out what really happened in a particular incident, and at understanding the full issues of conduct, than someone who is skilled at finding out such things professionally.
