Foreign lawyers to be charged £3,000 to gain English qualification

I am thankful to those that have already responded to some of the myopic views expressed here. To my friend who pointed out his amazement at the fact that there are English lawyers who practise law without law degrees, may I add that many practise law and even head departments in law firms without degrees at all. There are many with less than 5 GCSE's who head teams in firms. Some are currently enrolled in ILEX programmes without having passed English at GCSE level. Those of us with dual jurisdiction qualification as well as English law firm experience cannot be deceived. From my experience so far, the English language competency requirements suggested in the last post wouldn't be a bad idea for English candidates as well.
