Proceeding contribution from Jonathan Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill.
Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill
Does my right hon. Friend share my concern, which has also been expressed by the right hon. Member for Blackburn (Mr Straw), about the absence of proposals on referral fees, which have been properly described as a ““scandal””? They were a scandal at the time of the miners' compensation scandal, which resulted in 27 law firms being disciplined. Does he think that that is a missing part of the Bill?
