Proceeding contribution from Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sentencing Reform/Legal Aid.
Sentencing Reform/Legal Aid
I welcome many aspects of the Justice Secretary's announcement, including greater clarity on sentencing, measures to tackle drugs, and improvements in the original legal aid proposals. Can he confirm that the Government remain committed to restorative justice, which victims give a high satisfaction rating, to probation, which is key to the tackling of reoffending, and to the not-for-profit sector? Can he confirm that no further cuts will be made in the legal aid budget or the probation service, and that he will work hard to ensure that the not-for-profit sector receives additional funds to support its work?
