Proceeding contribution from Hugh Bayley (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)

The budget for criminal legal aid has risen by 37 per cent. in real terms in the past 10 years. Why is the legal profession providing a poorer level of service—the hon. and learned Gentleman says that firms are closing down and that it is harder for clients to get the advice that they need—when the expenditure has risen by a third in real terms?
