Proceeding contribution from Sally Keeble (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 July 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Carter Review.


Carter Review

Northampton is one of the legal aid deserts that have been discussed, to such an extent that I have to send constituents to Birmingham or Oxford to get legal help with certain types of case, despite the best efforts of the community legal service. On the development of the network of community legal advice centres, will the CLS or whoever is overseeing it ensure that legal aid deserts are targeted? I make a plea that we should have such a centre in Northampton, so that my constituents can get proper access to justice to help them with their serious cases.
