Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 January 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Legal Aid.


Legal Aid

I agree absolutely. As far as I know, we have not been lobbied by the senior partner of Linklaters. We have been lobbied by small firms and by people working in citizens advice bureaux, who in my constituency provide an excellent service for people who have been leaseholders of the local authority, or do immigration work. We have also been lobbied by people who have given their lives to family law, such as the person cited earlier, who happens to be a friend of mine from south London and who has spent all her life dealing with child care cases. We have been lobbied by that sort of people.
