Legal Services Bill [HL]

I do not disagree for that reason, but where is the problem to which the noble Baroness refers in the complaints mechanism of the Bar Council? We have a clean bill of health on this. What is the justification for it? I am speaking of what I know something about—the Bar Council. I do not know much about patent agents and so on, but I suppose there is no justification there. The only justification seems to be the mess the Law Society has made of its complaints procedure. Why should everybody else pay a levy because the Law Society complaints machinery is in a mess, if the Committee will forgive me for saying so?
