HC Deb 03 March 1993 vol 220 c176W
28. Mrs. Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what basis he has used for the assessment of civil legal aid expenditure for the financial year 1993–94; and if he will make a statement on proposed changes to eligibility.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

My right hon. Friend considers the forecasts supplied by the Scottish Legal Aid Board in the context of the public expenditure survey.

I set out the Government's revised proposals on eligibility for legal aid in Scotland in my reply of 17 February to the hon. Member for Ayr at column 226.
