Future of Legal Aid

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

I recognise and welcome the positive changes that have happened since the Minister has been in the Department. On the total spend, does she agree that, although we provide significant sums and compare well with other common law jurisdictions, a fifth of Ministry of Justice expenditure is a fifth of 1% of total Government expenditure? When we look at the scope for additional funding, we are looking at increasing a fraction of a fraction.
