That assessment was set out in the reply given to the noble Baroness on 12th<\/sup> February 2018 to Question HL5280: The determination of the distributable profits and of a distribution by a public company must be based on the profits of the company as set out in the company\u2019s accounts. These must be prepared in accordance with the accounting standards, with the overriding requirement that they must give a true and fair view of the company\u2019s finances.

The UK\u2019s world leading legal services industry is based on the talent and professionalism of those who work within it.<\/p>
<\/p>
The legal profession in England and Wales is independent from government, as are the bodies that regulate it. The Law Society is the body with statutory authority to regulate solicitors. It is required to ensure the independence of its regulatory function, which is delivered through the Solicitors\u2019 Regulation Authority.<\/p>
<\/p>
It would be for the police to investigate any allegations of criminal conduct. If the police consider, after investigation, that there is a case to answer they will place the matter before the Crown Prosecution Service for action.<\/p>
<\/p>
Where an issue of public concern needs investigating, the Minister may cause an inquiry to be held under the Inquiries Act 2005. There are no current plans to set up an inquiry into the ethics of lawyers.<\/p>"}

The Belfast Agreement paved the way for power-sharing in Northern Ireland and set out a plan for devolved government in Northern Ireland on a stable and inclusive basis.<\/p>
The Agreement is made up of two inter-related documents, both agreed in Belfast on 10 April 1998:<\/p>
- a multi-party agreement by most of Northern Ireland's political parties;<\/li>
- an international agreement between the British and Irish governments (the British-Irish Agreement).<\/li><\/ol>
The Agreement set out a series of provisions relating to a number of areas including:<\/p>
- The status and system of government of Northern Ireland within the United Kingdom. (Strand 1)<\/li>
- The relationship between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. (Strand 2)<\/li>
- The relationship between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. (Strand 3)<\/li><\/ul>
Key provisions of the Belfast Agreement 1998 were brought into effect by the Northern Ireland Act 1998.<\/p>"}
