Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

My Lords, to say that I am disappointed in that response is, I am afraid, an inadequate estimate. The whole point of amending the resolution from last time was to make this discretionary. For the Government to say that they do not even want to be under an expectation of having such a wide review seems wayward. I also find it wayward that the amendment is rejected on grounds of cost. It is to save massive waste in this area that this amendment is put forward. I will withdraw the amendment, as there are only a dozen of us here, but I do so with disappointment. Amendment 101A withdrawn. Clause 12 : Advice and assistance for individuals in custody Amendment 102 Clause 12 : Advice and assistance for individuals in custody Amendment 102 Moved by
