Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) 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 grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way, because he raises a quite important point. Indeed, the Committee has in the past drawn attention to the fact that legally aided parties in such proceedings are required to consider mediation before they can get legal aid, whereas a non-legally aided party is not so required by the court and therefore will take the matter to court.
