Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) 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]
Does my hon. Friend agree that, as my hon. Friend the Member for Bassetlaw (John Mann) said, the way to look at the matter is through the prism of the consumer? If he were still with us, Mr. Shepphard would see no difference between the Lord Chief Justice and any other lawyer or person connected with the legal profession; he would see his involvement as the legal profession having a say in the appointment. Is it not important that laypeople such as Mr. Shepphard, who are both consumers and the victims of the legal professions, understand that the appointment is independent of that profession?
