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


Legal Aid

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for making that point. I have a brief from the Immigration Law Practitioners Association, which makes it clear that there is already a severe shortage of young people coming into this area of law. It is concerned about the potential impact that these changes will have because the supply of new, young practitioners may dry up completely. That is also borne out by the Association of Lawyers for Children.
