Sir Stephen's conclusion is that it is unsurprising and justifiable for the 'political world' to take 'legislative action' of an unspecified kind to 'dispel misconceptions'. Russell-Cooke Senior Partner John Gould replies to Sir Stephen Laws' article in The Law Society Gazette to express his disagreement with his conclusion and reiterate that the system is not based on the views or preferences of the political world.
