Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) 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 should just like to nail one point. The legal aid budget has increased, as the Minister said, to £2 billion, but taking into account inflation during that period, it is pretty much where it was in 1997, despite 3,000 extra offences. The truth is that the legal aid budget has not grown above inflation; it has stayed where it was. There is no crisis.
