HC Deb 31 March 2004 vol 419 cc1418-9W
Mr. Wyatt

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs when the Legal Services Commission received details of the case relating to a constituent, D. W. Stock; and what the cost to public funds of dealing with the case has been. [164674]

Mr. Lammy

D. W. Stock first applied for public funding on 3 March 2000. A subsequent application for funding was refused, and the appeal against that refusal was delayed. Mr. Stock made an ex gratia application for compensation on 18 May 2002. The cost to public funds of dealing with the case is not held centrally and can be provided only at disproportionate cost.
