I have been looking at the BSB's requirements today and from its guidance it would appear that the rules will apply to all barristers, chambers and BSB entities, whether or not they offer Public Access services.

For example, the BSB says in its template:

"Everyone must comply with the transparency rules"

and

The following are invited to contact the clerks on xxx for a quote for our barristers' services (or email xxx):
1. Solicitors or other practising lawyers;
2. Licensed Access clients;
3. Members of the public who wish to instruct a barrister under the Public Access scheme.

You may wish to update your article on the above basis.
