HC Deb 28 October 2003 vol 412 c141W
31. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs what plans the Lord Chancellor has to amend the workings of the legal aid system. [134527]

Mr. Lammy

The Government has a clear responsibility to ensure that we achieve value for money from the legal aid system. It seeks to achieve this through active monitoring and a programme of work which includes a major review of the demand, supply and purchasing arrangements for legal services, which will report in December.
