Proceeding contribution from Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Justice: Reform of Punishment, Rehabilitation, Sentencing and Legal Aid.


Justice: Reform of Punishment, Rehabilitation, Sentencing and Legal Aid

If you were pushing towards mediation but, as the noble Lord says, somebody refused to take up the mediation or tried to sabotage it, that would cause problems. I suspect that that would not be sufficient to enable the injured party to get legal aid if he had been outside its scope. However, again, I shall get clarification on that and, if I am wrong, I shall write to the noble Lord.
