Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (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)

There is an important question about hourly rates. The Minister is right to say that they create perverse incentives. Why are the Government proposing to go back to hourly rates in the exceptional cases mentioned by the hon. Member for North-West Norfolk? Surely it should be a completely different system, if the Minister is correct.
