Comment by #wco: I still think certain expenditure - office rents, electricity, gas, salaries etc should be paid centrally rather than to the MP .. this way deals can be done to get better prices for utilities etc. AND we can monitor the pay rates of these essentially public servants working for the MP's ..

Gov Early Day Motion (EDM) - #wco Justice (EDM 1194: Justice for All Campaign)
Fovargue, Yvonne raised an interesting point.
Subject(s): Justice; Equality; Family Courts
That this House welcomes the Justice for All campaign launched in the House of Commons on 12 January 2011; supports the aims of the campaign which are to raise awareness of the vital importance of advice and representation on legal matters for the most vulnerable in our society and to ensure that everyone is treated fairly under the law, no matter who they are, how much money they have or where they live; recognises that the strength of feeling is reflected in the fact that the campaign is a broad coalition of legal and advice agencies, trades unions, charities, community groups and members of the public; regrets that the reduction in spending on legal aid, through restrictions in scope and eligibility and the blanket 10 per cent. cut in the lower fee paid to providers of legal services, is having a detrimental effect on access to justice and on the well-being of the most vulnerable people; questions the real cost savings to the public purse that this budget reduction will achieve, given that early advice on legal matters saves money by keeping families together in their homes, and in work and education; believes that free, independent advice and representation on legal matters is essential to achieve justice for all; and calls on the Government to rethink the provision of legal services for the poorest in society.
