§ Mr. John Fraserasked the Attorney-General if he will provide a breakdown of the estimated provision for 1986–87 for net expenditure on legal advice and assistance of £94.4 million showing how that total is anticipated to be spent between the different classes of work covered by legal advice and assistance.
§ The Attorney-GeneralOf the £94.4 million, approximately £59 million is for legal advice and assistance—the Green Form scheme—£12 million is for assistance by way of representation—ABWOR—and the remainder for the 24-hour duty solicitor scheme. Within the £59 million for the green form scheme, if the pattern of previous years is followed, roughly 50 per cent. will relate to family matters, 25 per cent. to criminal matters, and 25 per cent. to other civil matters.
