Legal Aid: Iraq

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice pursuant to the answer of 21 June 2011, Official Report, column 179W, on legal aid: Iraq, in respect of how many cases relating to alleged abuse of Iraqi citizens by UK armed forces legal aid is being provided to persons not resident in the UK.
Answer

As I stated in my answer of 21 June 2011, Official Report, column 179W, the Legal Services Commission (LSC) does not specifically record cases under the category of 'abuse by the UK armed forces'. In addition, the LSC cannot provide information on the number of legal aid applicants non-resident in the UK without incurring disproportionate cost.
