Dear Law Gazette,
I have just gone to the Petition page as mentioned by one of the readers below, and signed the petition created by
Vivien Caroline Stern:


https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/167092

Petition
Repeal part of the Legal Services Act 2007 to abolish the SRA and LSB

The Legal Services Act 2007 imposed a highly complex structure for regulation of solicitors. It is expensive to run and gave the public no greater protections. If regulation can revert to The Law Society (supervised by the Ministry of Justice), the money saved can be used to finance legal aid.

I have also responded to the Arms Length Review Consultation carried out by the Ministry of Justice in respect of the Office for Legal Complaints and the Legal Services Board
