The points that have been made are interesting. I am not sure what the solution is but I am sure that we have a problem. I agree about practice and procedure and that there should be a level of knowledge there, but the fact that later there is mention of personal conduct of proceedings, would tend to offset the knowledge of practice and procedure and would give a preference to barristers by having the two. Practice and procedure are absolutely fine, but then there is the question of having the other as well. I am prepared to look at it again when we get to report stage. The points that have been made are interesting and I will consider them further.
