§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department how many representations he has received in favour of the extension of conditional fees; and if he will make a statement. [15748]
§ Mr. HoonMy Department has had in the region of 30 inquiries from individual members of the public. The overwhelming message is that the proposed extension of conditional fees will be a real answer to the real problem they face of being denied access to justice through unaffordable lawyers fees.
