Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 July 2025

Debate

Legal Aid Agency: Digital Services

Contribution

Two of my local firms—MJC Law and Nottingham Law Centre—have contacted me about this issue. MJC Law said: “This has left legal aid law firms, often small businesses, to decide whether to take on the risk of cases and hope they will be approved and paid retrospectively”. Cash flow could become a genuinely serious issue for such firms, so what steps are being taken to support them? For how long does the Minister envisage firms dealing with this situation? Finally, on GDPR notices, is it sufficient that the LAA has simply provided a notice on its webpage?
