Legal Services Bill [Lords]

Does not the hon. Gentleman agree that that is already happening with regard to the legal profession? There is gravitation towards not only larger firms, but firms that specialise in certain areas. From my experience of miners’ compensation, that is a good thing, because some of the scandalous cases with which I have dealt involved the sort of small practices of family firms to which he referred that had no experience in dealing with complex litigation. Such firms do not say to clients, ““We are not competent to deal with this,”” but take on the case and give a bad service.
