Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Defence Service Bill [HL].
Criminal Defence Service Bill [HL]
My Lords, before the Minister sits down, will she clarify one point, either today or in correspondence? How much of the figure she mentioned of £35 million in savings is due to, on the one hand, the prospect of getting contributions in the Crown Court from people who have been granted legal aid, and, on the other, the refusal of legal aid to people who would have qualified for it under the present system?
