LEGAL SERVICES COMMISSION

Tabled by Kelvin Hopkins (Independent) 48 signatures

The motion

That this House notes that the proposed restructuring of the Legal Services Commission (LSC) will lead to approximately 600 redundancies in England and Wales; is concerned that the level of redundancies is far too high given the current economic climate; and expresses serious concern about the negative impact this may have on the service delivery for the most vulnerable people in England and Wales requiring the services of the LSC, especially in a time of recession when the demand for legal aid services the LSC provides is increasing.
