SOLICITORS REGULATION AUTHORITY

Early day motion 2070, tabled 9 October 2007 by Keith Vaz (Labour). Signed by 10 members.

That this House notes with deep concern the disproportionate number of investigations by the Solicitors Regulation Authority of ethnic minority firms of solicitors; considers it essential that the official body that regulates solicitors is seen to be fair; and calls on the Secretary of State for Justice to initiate a review of the policy and practice of the Solicitors Regulation Authority to deal with the widespread criticism from ethnic minority firms.
