Legal Aid
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether Mr Phil Shiner is in receipt of Government funds through legal aid or any other means.
- Answer
-
Mr Phil Shiner is a member of Public Interest Lawyers (PIL), a law firm that has a contract with the Legal Services Commission (LSC) to provide publicly funded legal services under the civil legal aid scheme, and, as such, PIL receives legal aid funding from the LSC. However, as the contract is between the LSC and PIL, it is not possible to determine whether or not Mr Shiner receives any of the amounts paid under the contract. It is not possible to identify all other sources of public funding Mr Shiner might have received.
