Due to changes made to the official Scottish Parliament website at the start of 2011, our parser that used to fetch their web pages and convert them into more structured information has stopped working. We’re afraid we cannot give a timescale as to when we will be able to cover the Scottish Parliament again. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Legal Aid (Court Delays)
First Minister's Question Time
12:00 pm
Rt Hon Alex Salmond (Scottish National Party)
The Scottish Legal Aid Board introduced changes on 16 August 2010 that were intended to simplify and modernise the operation of the Scottish legal aid system. Those changes are being closely monitored to ensure that the profession and the wider justice community are fully aware of them and to speed up decisions on legal aid applications.
