Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many victims of the Grenfell Tower fire have (a) applied for and (b) been granted legal aid.
This question was answered on 2nd November 2017
There have been 6 applications for emergency legal aid from solicitors acting for victims of the Grenfell Tower fire, which are currently under review.
Most advice and assistance will have been provided via Legal Help (another form of legal aid) which is self-granted by solicitors. These matters are only reported to the LAA once they are closed.
