Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 January 2026

Debate

Sentencing Bill

Contribution

The key issue is whether people will even be in prison for long enough to access the telephone legal advice scheme before they are removed or deported under this Bill’s provisions. This amendment probes the point around how, where and when people in scope will access legal aid services if there is no time for them to do so.
