HC Deb 02 March 1998 vol 307 c449W
Mr. Mitchell

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what are the Legal Aid Board's forecasts for net Legal Aid Fund expenditure over the next three years. [31276]

Mr. Hoon

Expenditure on the Legal Aid Fund1 in 1998/99 is expected to be around £1,200m. It is not possible to give figures for 1999/2000 and beyond since expenditure will depend on the outcome of the Government's overall Comprehensive Spending Reviews. 1 Excludes legal aid in the higher criminal courts which is administered by the courts. Small Claims
