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)

I am surprised that a self-confessed Labour moderniser is calling for a return to a prices and incomes policy. He is utterly transparent. He has made it clear that the purpose of this so-called reform is to cut costs. If it could be proven to him that that would impact very unfairly on black and Asian lawyers and clients, would he say that it was a price worth paying?
