Proceeding contribution from Kevin Foster (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 March 2024. It occurred during Debate on Duty Solicitor Scheme.
Duty Solicitor Scheme
On the numbers, I want to be clear that the issue is people actively taking cases. One retired solicitor who knew I had secured this debate told me that he still gets an email each year saying that he is still licensed to do stuff, even though he has not actually practised as a criminal lawyer in 10 years. It is the numbers of people actively doing things.
