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)
Does my right hon. Friend agree that there is little point in the Government saying that they are committed to more diversity in the judiciary and the legal profession as a whole if they are driving through untested and unthought-out processes that could lead to 75 per cent. of ethnic minority solicitors going out of business? That would have an indirect effect on black and ethnic minority barristers and have the total effect of reducing diversity in the profession.
