Legal Services Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Legal Services Bill [Lords].
Does my hon. Friend also agree that the relationship between solicitors and barristers needs to be examined? Recently, I referred to the Legal Complaints Service the case of a poor constituent of mine who had been given very bad advice in relation to her divorce. There was a big question mark over whether barristers needed to be employed in the first place. Dealing with them separately would mean that one body would deal with the complaint against the solicitor, while the other, the Bar Council, would deal with the barrister. In that case, for example, would not it be common sense for one body to deal with the single complaint?
