Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

I am much obliged to the Minister. He supported, then: "““A properly funded system whereby access to legal advice and representation before the courts is not denied to those otherwise unable to bear the costs””," did he? He supported, to repeat: "““The continued provision of legal aid, for those who cannot afford to pay for legal services, in serious cases where a failure to provide legal services may lead to injustice””." I admire him very much for being able to support those provisions and then argue today what I would argue is the precise opposite. If there is an example of a serious case in which legal aid is available now—for advice in many cases, and sometimes for representation—but will not be available if this Bill goes through in this form, that is it.
