HC Deb 02 July 1991 vol 194 cc86-7W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Attorney-General if he will extend legal aid to discrimination cases involving race relations; and if he will make a statement.

The Attorney-General

Legal advice and assistance from a solicitor is available under the green form scheme, subject to the normal financial conditions, where there is no reasonable expectation of an applicant obtaining help from an alternative source such as a trade union or the Commission for Racial Equality.

In addition, where civil remedies are sought under the Race Relations Act 1976, legal aid is available for legal representation in county court proceedings, under the normal conditions.
