Constitutional Reform Bill — Clause 3 — Legal qualifications — 31 Jan 2005 at 22:15
Those voting No deleted Clause 3 of the Constitutional Reform Bill, which said:
(1) A person is not qualified to be appointed Lord Chancellor unless he has at any time (a) held high judicial office for a period of at least 2 years; or (b) practised as a qualifying practitioner (as defined in section 22) for at 5 least 12 years.
By removing this section, the qualifications for becoming Lord Chancellor are no different to that of any other Minister.
