Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 July 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Carter Review (Legal Aid).
Carter Review (Legal Aid)
Does the hon. Gentleman agree that some processes are not suitable for tendering? In a commercial environment, businesses allow audit tenders because there are statutory auditing requirements, and the supplier will seek to fulfil those at the lowest cost. However, companies do not ask their lawyers for fixed advice tenders, because the amount of advice that they receive differs, and they want the best possible advice. Instead of adopting an appropriate process, we are trying to drive down costs in the same way as for bags of waste.
