§ Mr. DismoreTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what plans he has for pilots for the Community Legal Service; and if he will make a statement. [43292]
§ Mr. HoonThe Lord Chancellor has announced that proposals for a Community Legal Service will be finalised by the beginning of next year. A consultation paper will be issued in January 1999. Until the Lord Chancellor and I reach our final decisions based on the responses to that consultation paper, I cannot predict whether any pilot projects will be appropriate.
