Legal Services Bill [HL]

I was not trying to be motherhood and apple pie, not least because I do not like apple pie. I was trying to say that if one has that scenario, and we accept that there is a person of great influence, we have set out in the Bill a framework that says one can do it in a low-risk way. We will have to think about and work through the detail. I am happy to write to the noble and learned Lord and explain further from my honourable friend who has the policy responsibility what that might look like. The fundamental principle that I am trying to establish at this point is that it is about low risk. We are not suggesting that this is a high risk situation, but one cannot think that there could never be circumstances—that is the point I was trying to reach with the bit about motherhood—where that individual could not have a huge impact on that firm.
