MPs to quiz legal regulators

Lawyers and others who may have questions or issues they would like to raise about the way the legal profession is regulated are invited to submit these to the Justice Committee

The Justice Committee, a House of Commons select committee which scrutinises Ministry of Justice policy and spending, will hold evidence sessions on legal services regulation on 28 November and 5 December. During these, representatives from the Law Society, Bar Council and CILEX as well as professional regulatory bodies including the Legal Services Board will answer questions from MPs.

Areas of inquiry could cover, for example, how the regulators are performing, how the service they provide could be improved and the role of regulation in supporting access to justice. The committee last covered legal services regulation in 2016.

Email your questions to justicecom@parliament.uk by 22 November.
