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


Legal Aid

Does the hon. Gentleman know or have an estimate of the shortage of practitioners who are prepared to take on immigration or asylum cases? My experience as an inner-city Member is that large numbers of people are barely if at all represented in very serious cases and that we need an increase in the number of practitioners.
