Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

The noble Lord is most gracious to give way. The points I was making were illustrated with cases. My principle point was that these cases are so expensive to run that you need a capital base which is not available to lawyers in this country. I should like the Minister to consider—if not now, later—in explaining to the House how it is that his advisers are telling him that lawyers in this country can raise £2 million, £3 million, £4 million or £5 million to run a case for three or four years. How will that be done?
