Proceeding contribution from David Heath (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]
That would be the case only if the Lord Chief Justice was seen simply as a representative of the legal profession, rather than as the head of the judiciary. I make a clear distinction between the two. If it were suggested that the appointment would need the concurrence of someone from the Law Society or the Bar Council, rather than the concurrence of the Lord Chief Justice, the Minister's point would have a strong degree of validity.
