Proceeding contribution from Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 29 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL].
Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL]
My Lords, my noble friend has been a staunch supporter of tribunals, and has acted for people on legal aid for many years. In this Bill we deal with the structure of tribunals, in so far as we deal with them at all. Legal aid is a different issue, and I am supportive of the proposition that, for issues such as welfare benefit, legal aid should be more widely available than it is at the moment. However, that requires first of all getting a grip on criminal legal aid to ensure that some money is available. I see that the noble and learned Lord, Lord Lloyd of Berwick, is poised. I am not sure if he wants me to go on for a bit before he lunges in with legal aid. I shall explain a bit more about the Bill. I am grateful.
