Clause 11
Legal Services Bill [Lords]

Jonathan Djanogly (Shadow Solicitor General (Also Shadow Minister for Trade and Industry), Law Officers (Assist the Home Affairs Team); Huntingdon, Conservative)
I thank the Minister for that clarification, but it means that we have established that there is precedence in other regulatory systems for the amendment that we are suggesting. The hon. Member for North Southwark and Bermondsey was rightto bring the matter up. What is suggested by the amendment is not unusual and it exists elsewhere. The amendment is rational and makes sense, but we have concerns about cost and the other issues that the Minister mentioned.
