Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when he plans to respond to the letter of 28 March 2018 from the hon. Member for Birmingham Northfield on legal aid for families of the victims of the Birmingham Pub Bombings.
A response was dispatched on the 26th April.
Regarding the families’ application for legal aid for the judicial review, there is still a right of appeal to an Independent Funding Adjudicator. The law firm have been advised to submit the requisite paperwork to the LAA if they wish to exercise this right.
