Legal Services Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Legal Services Bill [Lords].
Does my hon. Friend recognise that the Law Society was making the same arguments some 20 or so years ago over the ending of the conveyancing monopoly? What has happened, however? Some of the more innovative firms with flair have been able to thrive in all parts of the country. I do not suggest that there are not issues to do with legal aid—which do not affect this discussion—but does my hon. Friend not recognise that some Law Society fears have been proved wrong in the past?
