Legal Services Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Legal Services Bill [Lords].
As someone who used to run a legal department for a trade union, may I tell the hon. Gentleman what happened on my watch when bad advice was given, not by a solicitor, but by a trade union official? The individual sued the trade union because they had been given bad legal advice, and it is still open to people to take any trade union to court for any advice that they are given. In that respect unions are more open than any other public body I know of.
