HL Deb 05 April 2004 vol 659 c206WA
Lord Vinson

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Competition Commission has investigated the current level of legal fees; and, if not, whether any such investigation is planned. [HL2130]

Lord Sainsbury of Turville

The Competition Commission has not recently investigated legal fees.

Decisions on whether any features of a market require investigation on competition grounds are primarily a matter for the Office of Fair Trading.
