Clause 55
Legal Services Bill [Lords]
6:45 pm
John Hemming (Birmingham, Yardley, Liberal Democrat)
We have added our names to the amendment so obviously we support it. Much of the proposal rests on the nature of the relationship between the Legal Services Board and the individual regulator. I agree with the hon. Member for Bassetlaw that this country has seen several examples of the failure of self-regulation, but the system under the Bill brings in a relationship that warrants being carried out professionally and reasons being given for action that is taken.
