Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 27 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill.


Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

My Lords, I stand by those remarks. If the Minister thinks that there is something wrong—for example, the difficulty in relation to damages where, under his Government's scheme, claimants will have to pay up to 25 per cent of the damages they get—what is he going to do to change that? He is in government now.
