Proceeding contribution from John Hemming (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legal Services Bill [Lords].


Legal Services Bill [Lords]

Obviously, the hon. Gentleman's arguments for the independence of the chair of the legal services board from the legal profession are strong. However, does he accept that the legal profession should be independent of Government and not be in a situation in which a Government appointee can sack people from practising?
