Proceeding contribution from Lord Carlile of Berriew (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Damages-Based Agreements Regulations 2010.


Damages-Based Agreements Regulations 2010

I am grateful to the noble Lord, but some of us have listened to his speech with mounting confusion, given the importance of the Conservative Party in this and our desire to know its future intentions. The shadow Attorney-General is highly respected in defamation proceedings, so will the noble Lord tell us whether the Conservative Party is in favour of the reduction to 10 per cent, whether it is against the reduction or whether it simply has not been able to make up its mind?
