I beg to move, in page 7, line 18, at the end, to add: (11) The provisions of Sub-sections (1), (2) and (3) of this Section shall come into operation on such day as the Lord Chancellor may by order appoint after he is satisfied on a poll taken by the Council of all solicitors for the time being holding practising certificates that not less than two-thirds of those voting are in favour of the provisions coming into operation. While I am in personal disagreement with the object of the Amendment which is on the Paper in the name of my hon. Friend the Member for Nelson and Colne (Mr. Silverman), I move it because it has been put down as the result of agreement to which we have all been a party. There is the proposal in this Clause for compulsory membership of all solicitors of the Law Society. Some objection has been taken, principally by those who are not members, but also by some who are, to that provision in its present form. Therefore, it has been agreed that it shall not come into force until a poll has been held of all solicitors holding practising certificates. This provision for compulsory membership of the Law Society was approved at the largest meeting ever held by members of the society two or three months ago. It was also approved by the Association of Provincial Law Societies and the City of London Solicitors' Company, and was also carried at a poll of members of the society. Therefore, the Committee will agree that there are reasonable grounds for asking for this provision to be put in the Bill. Nevertheless, as it has been agreed that the proposal shall be postponed until a further poll has been held, I beg to move the Amendment.
