§ 37. Mr. MitchellTo ask the Minister of State, Lord Chancellor's Department what proposals he has for establishing law centres in areas which do not at present have them. [56142]
§ Mr. HoonYesterday 2 November 1998, my right hon. Friend the Lord Chancellor outlined our proposals for a Community Legal Service, which will aim to ensure that every area will have access to a comprehensive network of legal service providers, of consistently good quality, so that people with actual or potential legal problems are able to find the information and help they need. I hope Law Centres will play a full part in the Community Legal Service. A consultation document on the detail of our proposals for the Community Legal Service will be published early next year.
