Proceeding contribution from Vera Baird (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 hope I can help. Our revised estimate of the transition cost is £32.1 million, which does not entirely accord with the figure from a different source that my hon. Friend cited. The revised estimate of the running costs is £4 million for the Legal Services Board and £19.9 million—as I think my hon. Friend said—for the office for legal complaints. Those costs represent 2007-08 prices, include VAT, and reflect other adjustments. As my hon. Friend says, the amendments that are eventually included in the Bill will influence the final figures.
