Proceeding contribution from Bridget Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legal Services Bill [Lords].


Legal Services Bill [Lords]

The answer to that question is quite straightforward. If a trade union wishes to give other advice or to spread its wings more widely, it will have to be licensed. If the shop steward on the shop floor is giving advice to that union’s members, I do not think it appropriate for it to have to be licensed. If it wants to go beyond that, it certainly would have to be licensed.
