Chris Bryant – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Chris Bryant on 2014-06-26.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will estimate the cost to the public purse of extending entitlement to (a) legal aid and (b) remission from court costs to all claimants of universal credit once universal credit has been fully rolled out.

Mr Shailesh Vara

The information requested is contained in a letter that I sent on 10 June to the Rt Hon Member for East Ham in response to his earlier Parliamentary Question on the same subject. That letter has now been deposited in the Library of the House. (Deposit Reference: DEP2014-1040)
