We want to understand the different ways in which the justice system can be improved and will be carefully considering our options on the way forward, including with regards to legal aid. We acknowledge that the sustainability of the profession is central to a successful legal aid system.

We will carefully consider the evidence including, for example, information gathered as part of the Review of Civil Legal Aid.
