HC Deb 19 February 1968 vol 759 c37W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Attorney-General whether he will take steps to set up a council composed of lawyers and laymen, to investigate and adjudicate upon complaints against the legal professions, similar to the Press Council.

The Attorney-General:

Barristers and solicitors, unlike journalists, are subject to the control of disciplinary bodies having extensive powers to examine and deal with complaints. I have no reason to suppose that these powers are not being used when appropriate.
