Proceeding contribution from Lord Beecham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 24 January 2012. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill.

Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

Increasing general damages by 10 per cent does not compensate for the deduction of 25 per cent. It does not touch the matter of special damages other than the future loss, to which the Minister referred. The 10 per cent is pretty much a gesture in terms of the likely impact on clients. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment but we will certainly want to look at this again. Amendment 112 withdrawn. Amendment 113 not moved. Amendment 113A had been withdrawn from the Marshalled List. Clause 22 agreed. Clause 23 agreed. Schedule 2 agreed. Clause 24 : Charges on property in connection with civil legal services Amendment 113B Clause 24 : Charges on property in connection with civil legal services Amendment 113B Moved by
