Police Stations: Legal Representation
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate he has made of the cost per hour to the Public Defender Service of providing a legal representative in a police station; and what hourly rate is paid for such work under the Legal Aid system.
- Answer
-
As a directly salaried service, the PDS does not bill for work in the same way as private practice, therefore it is not possible to provide a comparable estimate of cost per hour.
