Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

I want briefly to read to the Minister what my constituent Lucy Abell has written to me:"““I work with single parents every day in my job…and know how desperately vulnerable a lot of people are when they are going through an acrimonious separation. The outcomes of children and families are very dependent on what happens during this time, and I find it incredible that the Government thinks these changes will save the government money in the long term.””" She works for Gingerbread and sees such people all the time. She is convinced that what the Government are doing will be terribly damaging for children of those single parents.
