Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2011, Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 (Commencement No. 3) Order 2011, Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 (Amendment) Order 2011, Land Registration (Network Access) (Amendment) Rules 2011

My Lords, my noble friend is referring to the new alternative business structures for legal firms. It is true that both he and my noble friend Lord Hunt raised these points in Committee, and I agreed to take the matter back to ministerial colleagues if they would allow this order to proceed. I have done so, and Ministers have agreed that consideration and a decision in respect of the business case for the inclusion in the exceptions order of owners and managers of alternative business structures should be made as soon as possible. In the event that the Ministers agree that any addition should be made to the exceptions orders, I assure Members that this work will be expedited and an amendment will be prepared as a matter of urgency. On that basis, I hope that the House will allow the order to go through. Motions agreed.
