PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
LAW CENTRES (16 July 1997)
Motion Details
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.
