Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Community Legal Service (Funding) (Amendment No. 2) Order 2011.


Community Legal Service (Funding) (Amendment No. 2) Order 2011

That a Humble Address be presented to Her Majesty praying that the Community Legal Service (Funding) (Amendment No. 2) Order 2011 (SI 2011/2066), laid before the House on 24 August, be annulled, on the grounds that the reduction in civil standard and graduated fees for Legal Help and Help at Court will seriously undermine access to justice because it threatens the financial viability of already hard-pressed community legal practitioners who carry out an essential service to those least able to afford it, including the most vulnerable in our society.
