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


Legal Aid

I take the point about complex cases; but we are really talking about complex people, who take a long time to deal with. In London 75 per cent. of people who go to providers of the kind in question may have English as a second language. That point has not been properly dealt with. Hon. Members have the same experience in their surgeries, and I am sure that my hon. and learned Friend the Minister will know of it first hand. That is not being addressed.
