Proceeding contribution from Sadiq Khan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 January 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Legal Aid.


Legal Aid

My hon. and learned Friend was courteous enough to send me a copy of a letter that she sent to my hon. Friend the Member for Regent's Park and Kensington, North (Ms Buck), in which she confirmed that there would be a regulatory impact assessment. Can she confirm whether advice has been taken to establish that we are not thereby in breach of the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 and—to allude to the point made by my right hon. Friend the Member for Leicester, East (Keith Vaz)—that that will not affect either ethnic minority practitioners or ethnic minority clients and potential clients disproportionately?
