Clause 54
Legal Services Bill [Lords]
6:30 pm
Henry Bellingham (Shadow Minister, Constitutional Affairs; North West Norfolk, Conservative)
Amendment No. 258 would bring parity to the different forms of conflict that an approved regulator might face, either with external regulators or with approved regulators. That is why it is important.
Amendment No. 252 would simply add to and complement that. I shall not go through it in detail, because the Minister will have had a technical briefing on it. It was tabled as a probing amendment in the House of Lords. We did not receive a satisfactory response at the time, and I would like the Minister to say either that she can accept it because it improves the Bill and the clause, or that she cannot accept it and give and give an explanation for that. I look forward to hearing what she has to say.
