§ Mr. FraserTo ask the Attorney-General how many complaints he has received about the charging for legal aid forms by magistrates courts; and if he will ensure that the legal aid application forms continue to be provided free of charge.
§ Mr. John PattenI have been asked to reply. I have received only very occasional complaints. However, the question of charging is currently being considered by an interdepartmental working group reviewing the operation of the legal aid scheme in the magistrates courts.
