Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 March 2009. It occurred during Legislative debate on Legislative Reform.

Legislative Reform

I am pleased to hear that the Minister is concerned about the cost of insolvency practitioners. Is he therefore saying this proposed change is consistent with a narrative that will put pressure on insolvency practitioners to charge less? I have been appalled by the amount of money that has been absorbed by insolvency practitioners in some cases, and I am just seeking an assurance, without going into details that take us beyond today's debate, that other measures will be introduced to make sure insolvency practitioners do not take a disproportionately large amount of the funds when they are disbursing to creditors.
