Is the Minister aware that all 10 legal regulators, which operate underneath the Legal Services Board, agree that the board and the statute that put it into place are not working well and need radical reform? Can he say whether, if he is in government after May, a new Government will find time to reform it, which is what the regulators all want?

My Lords, I will certainly take that back if I am in government after May. I hope I shall not still be the oldest member of the Government.
