Legal Aid Scheme
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether his Department has made an assessment of the effect of changes to the availability of the early legal help component of legal aid on the expenditure of other Government departments.
- Answer
-
The Lord Chancellor recently announced the beginning of the Government’s Post-Implementation Review of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO), which will fulfil our commitment to Parliament to assess the legal aid changes made by the Act. This will include an analysis of data collected by the Legal Aid Agency and other institutions in order to ensure that the public is receiving both value for money and access to a world leading legal system.
