If a classic is a book everyone wishes they had read, but no-one has actually read, then the draft Legal Services Bill may well be a classic of its kind. Running to some 250 pages, including notes, the draft Bill certainly looks (and weighs) the part.
Speed-reading of this classic may be required. The draft Bill was published on 24 May, 2006, and the closing date for written submissions expired on 15 June, with the Parliamentary Joint Select Committee to produce its report by 25 July.
So does it contain any surprises? And how popular will it be?
