I can get the Deputy a note on the civil legal aid scheme. It is being reformed but I do not have a note to hand because it is not directly affected by this. However, I do agree with the Deputy that we have constitutional duties in respect of criminal legal aid and providing people with justice and the best defence possible. The very nature of a common law system is that people have equality of arms going into a court.
