Clause 2 - Rights to representation: financial eligibility
Criminal Defence Service Bill [Lords]
11:15 am
David Heath (Shadow Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs & Shadow Leader of the House, Law Officers (Constitutional Affairs); Somerton and Frome, Liberal Democrat)
The Minister knows what the Liberal Democrats think of the provision: we do not think that it is the right way forward. However, it would be perverse to argue against the amendment, because in its absence there would be no review. Administrative review is better than no review at all, so she must have the amendment.
Amendment agreed to.
