Clause 5
Compensation Bill [Lords]
4:30 pm
John Mann (PPS (Rt Hon Richard Caborn, Minister of State), Department for Culture, Media & Sport; Bassetlaw, Labour)
Would that we did regulate solicitors. The hon. Gentleman and the Committee will be interested to know that Raleys has not paid back Mr. Roberts despite the fact that the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal upheld the Law Society’s decision, as did the adjudicator. He still awaits justice. The circulation within the Law Society, whereby solicitors practise avoidance even when their own regulator rules against them, must be considered in terms of the teeth of this Bill.
