Legal Services Bill [HL]

I am most grateful to the noble and learned Lord for that explanation. Quite often pro bono work will emerge from, say, a citizens advice bureau, which will characteristically have put a lot of work into the matter, or at least it may have done so. One can envisage a situation where an organisation such as that, were its case to be won, might want any proceeds to be fed back either to assist its own work or to assist some other local community. The noble and learned Lord the Attorney-General seems to be saying that the views of organisations such as Citizens Advice have been fully canvassed in the consultation. If that is so, that gives me some reassurance about the concern that I have just expressed. I am most grateful to the noble and learned Lord. I shall go away and look at this amendment again between now and Report. Meanwhile, I beg leave to withdraw it. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 151CB and 151CC not moved.] Clause 185 agreed to. Clause 186 agreed to. Schedule 20 agreed to. Clauses 187 to 193 agreed to. Clause 194 [Orders, regulations and rules]:
