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 one of the problems with the current system is the closed shop operated by the Law Society, for example, in relation to Watson Burton solicitors in Newcastle? They were subject to disciplinary procedures, but the judgment was kept secret from the public. Does he agree that maximum transparency on disciplinary actions and criticism of law firms should be at the heart of the Bill?
