Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Sarah Sackman and Seamus Logan

Tuesday 8th July 2025 Commons Chamber

[Sarah Sackman]

The hon. Lady is absolutely right that we need to ensure access to legal aid for those who live in rural areas. The Legal Aid Agency was satisfied that legal aid services across all categories are adequate in her constituency of Harpenden and Berkhamsted. Digital technology is transforming access to justice through remote consultations and Government-funded websites, such as Advicenow. I encourage her constituents to access legal aid through those means, as well as through local providers.

[Seamus Logan (Aberdeenshire North and Moray East) (SNP)]
