Jonathan Djanogly: ...the nuclear or coal-mining industry exclude a member of the Green Party?”—[Official Report, House of Lords, 7 January 2008; Vol. 697, c. 671.] I fear that we may end up with trade union witch hunts in which hon.

Jonathan Djanogly: ...Justice in the appointments procedure. I believe that we were right to push that issue instead of simply accepting that a reference to "consultation" alone was sufficient. The statement of Lord Hunt, the Minister in the other place, on 17 October 2007—only last week—on the matter was telling. He stated: "I think it will be helpful if at this stage I outline how the Lord Chief...

Jonathan Djanogly: ...: "in one important respect, the Bill will be an improvement on the version which left the House of Lords.

Jonathan Djanogly: ...such major concerns about the proposition that a minority of non-lawyers should be partners in a firm in order more effectively to provide a range of services to clients.

Public Bill Committee: Legal Services Bill [Lords]: Schedule 1 (12 Jun 2007)

Jonathan Djanogly: .... If it were the Government alone who  made all the appointments and terminations, would the Legal Services Board not be seen as subservient to the Government of the day? As my noble Friend Lord Hunt commented: “How else will it be seen to be independent and not merely a creature of the Government or the legal profession?—[Official Report, House of Lords, 6 December 2006;...

Public Bill Committee: Legal Services Bill [Lords]: Schedule 1 (12 Jun 2007)

Jonathan Djanogly: ...is not in a regulatory role, we have had an Office of Fair Trading report, two other reports, a White Paper and a Bill that has gone through the House of Lords. That is what is different. As Lord Hunt pointed out in the other place, the matter is all about balance. It would be quite wrong, or even indefensible, to establish an appointments process so evidently lacking in checks and...

Orders of the Day: Legal Services Bill [Lords] (4 Jun 2007)

Jonathan Djanogly: ...hon. Members, that the Bill has come a long way since it was first introduced. I pay tribute both to the Joint Committee's work and its comprehensive review, and not least to its Chairman, Lord Hunt, as well as to the input of my hon. Friend the Member for Enfield, Southgate (Mr. Burrowes), who made a significant contribution to today's debate. In many ways, they moved the Bill back to...

Jonathan Djanogly: ...training and security guard training. Such training seems to be an obvious exemption, so will the Minister explain how those uses will be protected? Paragraph (f) would exempt imitation firearms that are used in hunt dog training. These firearms are used for a safe and constructive purpose, and again are not the sort of weapons used by criminals. Paragraph (g) emphasises the need for an...

Public Bill Committee: Employment Relations Bill: New clause 8 - Exclusion or expulsion from (2 Mar 2004)

Mr Jonathan Djanogly: ...children to a private school or for a using private health care? That clearly goes against the ethos of the public sector union concerned. Would it be possible to throw someone out for going fox hunting? There are significant problems with the drafting of the new clause, partly because it does not talk about racism or the BNP at all. Therefore, it has become very wide. It might be...

Public Bill Committee: Enterprise Bill: Clause 11 - Super-complaints to the OFT (16 Apr 2002)

Mr Jonathan Djanogly: I support this group of amendments. The question arises whether a clause that is, on the face of it, well meaning will give companies comfort that they will not be subject to witch-hunting by consumers or pressure groups. There is a balance to be struck here, as with other parts of the Bill. I was slightly concerned by the Under-Secretary's statement that the measure was to be left as ''an...

Orders of the Day — Enterprise Bill (10 Apr 2002)

Mr Jonathan Djanogly: ...keep in mind those examples as I consider one or two other provisions. First, the super-complaints process will have to be considered very carefully to avoid its becoming a way to initiate witch hunts, as other hon. Members have said. The CBI noted that the 90-day period was too long, but that could miss the real threat: if the DTI requires a full investigation to take place in that...
