Legal Aid, Sentencing & Punishment of Offenders Bill — Preserving Face-to-Face Initial Legal Aid Advice — 17 Apr 2012 at 17:30

The majority of MPs voted against requiring initial legal aid advice be provided face to face rather than online or by phone.

MPs were considering the Legal Aid, Sentencing & Punishment of Offenders Bill[1]. The motion passed in this vote was:

  • That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 24

Lords amendment 24, which was rejected in this vote was[2]:

  • Page 21, line 6, leave out subsection (2) and insert—
  • “( ) Notwithstanding subsection (1), the Lord Chancellor’s duty under section 1(1) must include a duty to secure that a person eligible to legal aid advice is able to access it in a range of forms at the outset, including securing the provision of initial face-to-face advice.”

The above would have taken effect on Clause 26 of the Bill[3] which relates to an individual's choice of provider of services funded by legal aid. Subsection two which was retained as a result of this vote stated:

  • The Lord Chancellor may discharge that duty, in particular, by arranging for the services to be provided by telephone or by other electronic means.

The explanatory notes[4] describe the effect of the rejected amendment 24 as follows:

  • Lords Amendment 24 would place a duty on the Lord Chancellor to secure that a person eligible for legal aid advice is able to access it in a range of forms from the outset, including by securing the provision of initial face-to-face advice.
