Future of Legal Aid

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

My hon. Friend has been so generous. Does he agree that one of the pillars of our world-renowned legal system is the integrity, skill and impartiality of our judges? It is no secret that they feel quite put upon at the moment, not least on pensions and other matters. Their time is being taken up with extremely complex issues where it is harder for them to achieve justice. Does he not agree that we should take that extremely seriously, so that we continue to have a pipeline of the brightest and the best?
