Changes to legal aid: The impact on providers
Published 26 March 2012 | Standard notes SN06273
The Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill is the most recent stage in a process of reform of legal aid. Concerns about “advice deserts” – that is, areas where people cannot access certain legal aid services – have been expressed for several years. Such concerns have been revived by the Bill, which (its critics claim) may have an adverse impact on providers of legal aid and especially, but not exclusively, the not-for-profit sector. This note examines some of the most recent debate about these issues.
