My noble friend Lady Warwick made a point about legal aid, on which I will comment. Civil legal aid is available for possession claims brought by a landlord or a mortgage lender, subject to financial means and merits tests. For those at risk of possession proceedings, loss of their home or illegal eviction, free non-means tested legal advice is available through the Housing Loss Prevention Advice Service. Through HLPAS, tenants can receive advice on housing, welfare, benefits and debt as soon as they receive written notice that their landlord is seeking possession of their home.
