Written question asked by Lord Hylton (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat) on Wednesday, 7 July 2010.
Refugee and Migrant Justice
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government how the former clients of Refugee and Migrant Justice will receive continuity of legal advice and representation.
- Answer
-
The Legal Services Commission (LSC) is working closely with the administrator and others to ensure that urgent arrangements are made so that clients continue to receive the advice they need. The LSC has experience of handling the transfer of work when a provider leaves the market and is satisfied that there is adequate capacity to absorb the extra workload. Although some initial disruption is unfortunately inevitable, every effort will be made to minimise this. The LSC is making urgent arrangements for other providers to take on RMJ cases that require prompt advice—for example, clients held in detention.
