Legal Services Bill [Lords]
6:15 pm
Simon Hughes (Party President, Cross-Portfolio and Non-Portfolio Responsibilities; North Southwark and Bermondsey, Liberal Democrat)
The amendment is a Government amendment to a Lords amendment. Can the Minister say whether she, colleagues or civil servants have had an opportunity to talk to those who argued for the amendment that the Lords made? Can she report back on the view of stakeholders or interested parties on whether the amendment has the benefits that she has argued for, without the disbenefits that they might say exist?
