Nicola Mackintosh QC (Hon) quoted by The Westminster Commission on Legal aid

‘The stark reality is that there are so few legal aid practitioners left,

that what is needed is a root and branch stripping out of unnecessary

admin which serves no benefit to the taxpayer and only detracts from

the time which is spent on advising clients in need. The pandemic

has shown us all how things can be done differently, and this is the

opportunity which should be grasped so that we can all focus on the

real task in hand.’
