Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 December 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Legal Services Act 2007 (Functions of an Approved Regulator) Order 2009.
Legal Services Act 2007 (Functions of an Approved Regulator) Order 2009
My Lords, I was involved in the passage of the Legal Services Act 2007. I have spoken long and boringly on that to reopen all those issues again. With regard to the Legal Services Act 2007 (Consequential Amendments) Order, I am rather sorry to see the loss of the word "taxation" from the Charities Act. It was certainly well understood. My costs are still taxed by a taxing officer, as far as I am aware; that is why I do not get as much as I ask for. The concept is still being maintained, with assessments and costs officers, so why we have to modernise the terminology, I am not sure. I have no objection to either of these orders going through.
