What's new

The Legal Services Commission has issued the following statement following today's publication of the Constitutional Affairs Select Committee's report on legal aid reform.

LSC Chief Executive Carolyn Regan said:

"We are continuing to work towards implementation of various elements of the legal aid reform programme in October as planned. This will ensure that providers have information about the schemes as early as possible. However, we recognise that Ministers will need to consider and respond to the Select Committee's report during the coming weeks."
