Proceeding contribution from Jonathan Djanogly (Conservative) 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]

The hon. Gentleman should be concerned that the union is not regulated. In previous debates on the Bill—and I am pleased that he did not repeat this—it was said that the lawyer should take the hit. That is quite right. If a lawyer has provided bad advice, they should be regulated and take the rap from the SRA. If the union just gets rid of that solicitor and carries on doing the things that it should not be doing with the new solicitor, because it is not regulated, that is unacceptable.
