Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) 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 will not give way because otherwise colleagues will not have the opportunity to make their points—[Interruption.] I will not be tempted. There might even be a chance of an early finish if the hon. Member for North Durham (Mr. Jones) lets me finish shortly. There is an argument that there will not be an understanding of many of the more expensive, difficult and complex local issues in many places in big organisations without any local interest. Such organisations will be under no obligation to provide the personal service that has been offered in such places in the past. People often have a personal obligation to their community, but that is not the case for an international organisation that is based in Nevada, or one city in this country.
