Future of Legal Aid

Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 November 2018. It occurred during Backbench debate on Future of Legal Aid.

Does my hon. Friend agree that it is those very vulnerable people who find themselves feeling that they have been victims of miscarriages of justice? The Criminal Cases Review Commission was at our meeting yesterday and it explained that a lack of resources inhibits its ability to process the number of cases it would like to. The cuts in legal aid mean that many people are faced with representing themselves in very complex situations.
