Legal Services Bill [Lords]

I absolutely understand that point. We have debated how we do not want a health service in which people go to their general practitioner to get referred for an X-ray, for example, and are then shuttled between 19 different providers, even though they are getting one service. Of course, some local solicitors might not have the competence to deal with matters that are beyond their expertise, yet do not say so. The situation has improved because solicitors can now say what their expertise is and it is easier for people to work out the solicitors who are specialists in such areas as family law. However, I agree that things are not perfect. Solicitors can hold themselves up as experts in certain areas, although they are not.
