Part of Legal Services Bill [Lords] – in a Public Bill Committee at 9:15 pm on 26 June 2007.
The fact that the Government’s solicitors do not provide services to the general public could apply to solicitors in the not-for-profit sector. They are regulated and have to pay a fee, so why should those in the civil service be in a privileged position? It does not make sense. Surely the employment regulations do not have anything to do with regulation as members of a profession.
