Legal Services Bill [Lords]

The Minister helpfully indicated earlier how many of the pre-legislative scrutiny Committee’s recommendations had been accepted and how many had been rejected. I think that I have now calculated that she has addressed each amendment made by the House of Lords, and unless I am mistaken, she has indicated that the Government will accept none of the Lords amendments. Is that the position, or is the reality that although the Government are saying today that they will accept nothing, they recognise that the House of Lords has an important role, and that the best legislation is made when they listen to both Houses of Parliament and do not steamroller things through on the basis of the views of one side alone?
