Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 July 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Carter Review (Legal Aid).


Carter Review (Legal Aid)

On the question of the reduction in suppliers, does the right hon. Gentleman agree that it is prophesied that there will be a particular impact on black and ethnic minority-led solicitors in inner-city areas because they tend to be smaller and newer firms and to do predominantly criminal legal aid, and that that is a very unfortunate by-product of the so-called reform?
