Question to the Attorney General:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether white British people who are (1) working class, and (2) middle class, were able to apply for the Government Legal Profession's Diversity Summer Scheme 2025; and what is the proposed policy for applications to that scheme in 2026 and 2027.

The Government Legal Profession Summer Diversity Scheme provides valuable work experience to those under-represented in the legal profession. The scheme is open to candidates from a wide-range of backgrounds, providing they meet the eligibility criteria, including white British people. There are no plans to change this for the 2026 scheme.
