A very interesting committe examination of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice by the Justice Committee.
1 hour 15 minutes may seem like a long time out of your life but if you are interested in legal aid, wish to get a glimpse into the thinking of the Permanant Secretary and his staff and understand how MPs view the MoJ and legal aid then it is worth watching.
If you are a mediator, an advice worker, a barrister or a Solicitor then it is of interest to you.
What would also be interesting would be to see the research that the MoJ has undertaken/reviewed to show that England and Wales spends £38 per head and countries such as Australia and New Zealand on £7-£8 per head of population on legal aid. Hopefully it will be disclosed.
The question was asked is it a question of volume or value. The answer seems to be that alternatives such as mediation in family cases will save money.
So family solicitors bid for contracts in relation to which the plan is to cut eligibility and to limit solicitor involvement.
