  "Q40 Andy McDonald: You are quite dismissive of some of the names that have been bandied around in this context, with Serco and G4S. Are you saying that there is no incentive for new entrants into the market?
  
  Michael Turner: ... in terms of the type of supplier that might come in and look at how they are behaving at the moment? If you take a name that is well known now, which is Eddie Stobart, who is wishing to come into this market, at present he is advertising a service to the public that the public can get for free and he is taking money from them for that service. He advertises as Stobart Barristers. He has not a single barrister on his books. What he is doing is taking the Bar Direct Access Directory and he is charging the public for putting his finger in those pages and saying, "You can go to that barrister." The public can get that service completely and utterly for free. That is the kind of behaviour that it is going to come into this market."
