Legal Services Bill [HL]

I strongly agree with my noble friend. It is important to listen to the City of London Law Society in the following respect: it is vital that we should not draw into alternative business services the sort of situations that my noble friend has just described. Otherwise, we will be faced with all sorts of bureaucratic problems and administrative hurdles. Adding the words, "““provided that a body is not a ““licensable body”” if the only managers who are non-authorised persons are individuals who do not provide any services to consumers””" makes the point that my noble friend identified. I hope that the Minister will accept the amendment.
