Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

I was present at Lady Hale's lecture and wrote down what she said:"““Courts should be and are a last resort but they should be a last resort which is accessible to all––rich and poor alike.””" Let me tell the Lord Chancellor this now: my constituents are people who need advice on immigration, on welfare and on housing and whose very lives can be wrecked by the fact that they cannot get legal assistance. Where am I to send them? How are they to get justice with the provisions in his Bill on legal aid and on no win, no fee?
