Withdrawal Of Legal Services Commission Specialist Support Services (EDM1779)

Withdrawal Of Legal Services Commission Specialist Support Services

EDM number 1779 in 2005-06, proposed by Jonathan Djanogly on 08/03/2006.

That this House believes that the Legal Services Commission's decision to end its specialist support services from July is an incomprehensible error; further believes it will impact heavily on the poorer and most vulnerable members of the community and create an even larger shortfall in provision than already exists; deplores the axing of the telephone specialist support service which provides back-up support for solicitors from expert lawyers, involving free telephone advice, help with casework and external supervision and training for legal advisers; notes the severe effect it will have on high street solicitor firms on the frontline dealing with complex legal issues in the areas of housing, employment, immigration, human rights, mental health, welfare benefits, community care and debt that are covered by the service; and further believes that this proposal will not save money for the Government and will only lead to the same sums being spent in a less efficient way on an alternative and less effective scheme.

This motion has been signed by a total of 65 MPs.
