My Lords, I take advantage of the gap for a few moments to make three short points. Will my noble friend the Minister please take into account on the code of practice, first, that claims representatives are essentially working on the basis of contingency fees; secondly, that professional people are not working on that basis; and, thirdly, that there should be control of the fee system by which the claims people operate? If people are unqualified, what will the regulator do to ensure that those who hire themselves out to provide a service provide a competent service? Lastly, will the regulator please ensure that there is a standard form of declaration of terms and inspection of how those people operate in the work that they say they do?
