HC Deb 03 August 1972 vol 842 c176W
Mr. Dormand

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress he is making in his study of proposals to revise the legal aid scheme; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Carlisle

The scheme for legal aid in criminal proceedings is under continuous review, but my right hon. Friend has no proposals before him at present for any major change. Legal aid in civil proceedings is the concern of my right hon. and noble Friend the Lord Chancellor.
