Two totally different things and the fact that the HJD is talking about compusory membership is frightening. If this is something that you believe should be discussed then you should have detailed that prior to your election. It is something that I could never vote for. However that should not derail the subject of fees and should be deferred to a later date.
Derek, do not confuse me referring to the debate on compulsory membership as support for the proposal or the principle. I remain to be convinced of either.
Also, I believe it would be highly irregular for me to ignore the debate on compulsory membership now that the issue has been raised.
Apologies David, although I do dispute that we need to have the debate on compulsory membership for juniors. I don't believe that we do. It should instantly be dismissed as a non-starter, in my opinion.
