Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Hugh Rossi (Conservative), on Tuesday, 11 February 1992, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 51 members in total.
LEGAL AID IN MAGISTRATES COURTS
That this House notes with concern that lawyers and others involved in the day-to-day administration of criminal justice fear that proposals by the Lord Chancellor to introduce standard fees for magistrates' courts legal aid cases will lead to a significant reduction in the number of solicitors willing to undertake the work and will make it more difficult for solicitors to prepare cases thoroughly; believes that the administration of justice would be seriously impaired if those consequences came about; and believes that the proposals should not be implemented until the Royal Commission on Criminal Justice has had an opportunity to consider them and report.
