Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill — Clause 12 — Legal Aid for Those in Custody — 2 Nov 2011 at 17:11

The majority of MPs voted to make legal aid available to advise and assist those held in custody and to provide the option for making such legal aid means tested in the future.

The amendment rejected in this vote was:

  • Amendment 116, page 8, line 29, leave out Clause 12.

Clause 12[2] related to criminal legal aid was titled Advice and assistance for individuals in custody.

Given clause 1 of the Bill required that Legal Aid be made available in accordance with Part I of the Bill; which contained clause 12 leaving out clause 12 would have had the effect of removing legal aid for advising and assisting those in custody.

During the debate Michael Crockart MP[3], one of those who had put their names to the rejected amendment, spoke in favour of leaving out clause 12 stating:

  • Clause 12 provides the Secretary of State with the flexibility to subject legal aid in police stations to a system of means-testing.

It appears the rationale for at least Mr Crockart's support for the amendment was related to opening up the possibility legal aid for those in custody could become means tested however the impact of the amendment would have been to remove the provision for legal aid funded advice and assistance to those in custody entirely.

Mr Crockart did not, in this amendment, propose any replacement for Clause 12, not did he seek to just remove the elements relating to means testing, the amendment voted on was to remove the whole clause.
