HC Deb 27 November 2001 vol 375 c831W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what recent representations she has received on the inability of people to pursue civil claims because of the lack of public funding for the service; and if he will make a statement. [14671]

Ms Rosie Winterton

Neither the Department nor the Legal Services Commission is aware of any case, within the scope of the scheme, where an applicant has passed the statutory tests of means and merits but has been unable to get help because funds are not available.
