asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they intend to publish consultation papers an (i) establishing a salaried defence service and draft code of conduct for salaried defenders employed by the Legal Services Commission; and (ii) choice of representative in criminal proceedings. [HL2799]

I have today placed copies of both consultation papers in the Libraries of both Houses. Copies are also available on my department's website at http://www.open.gov.uk/lcd.
