HC Deb 11 February 1981 vol 998 c958 10.13 pm
The Minister of State, Northern Ireland Office (Mr. Michael Alison)

I beg to move, That the draft Legal Aid, Advice and Assistance (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, which was laid before this House on 28 January, be approved. The order consolidates the law relating to legal aid, advice and assistance. The Joint Committee on Consolidation Bills considered the matter on 4 February and reported its opinion that it is pure consolidation and that there is no point to which the attention of Parliament should be drawn. I commend it to the House.

Question put and agreed to.
