NHS Redress Bill [HL]

My Lords, I accept that the amendment is, strictly speaking, unnecessary. It was designed as a device by which I could present an argument to the Minister about the Legal Services Commission and perhaps the alternative model that I had in mind. However, I see that my remarks fell on stony ground. I would just like to seed the thought in the Minister’s mind that when the Government consult on this issue, they take into account the points that I have made. I have nothing against the Legal Services Commission; I simply do not think that its role lends itself to the kind of outcome that we all want.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 10 [Scheme members]:
