Legal Services Bill [HL]

My Lords, as I understand it from our discussions with the Department of Trade and Industry, the provision that the noble Lord proposes could create difficulties for other applicable duties that may overlap with those of directors but for which there is no such statutory provision in the Bill. The contention is that it would create an uncertainty in the process, which I am sure is not what the noble Lord wishes, rather than what I think he seeks, which is to create greater certainty.
