Law Centres

EDM number 274 in 1997-98, proposed by Martin Linton on 17/07/1997.

That this House urges the Lord Chancellor to recognise the work of law centres over the past two decades and in particular the work of law centres in creating a safety net for people who cannot afford to employ a solicitor but whose legal needs have not been met by the legal aid system; and urges him to strive to extend the availability of this service throughout the country.

This motion has been signed by a total of 126 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
