§ 40. Ann ClwydTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will make a statement on his proposed reforms of the legal aid system. [21485]
§ Mr. HoonLegal aid is not helping many of those in most need nor is it providing as much help pound for pound as it could. That is offensive to taxpayers and unfair to the poor. Our proposed reforms, by giving us better control over prices and what the money is spent on, will tackle those fundamental flaws in the present scheme.
