Members will know that earlier, in private session, we acknowledged receipt of the copy of the report that Professor Whyte references from the World Bank, A Tool for Justice: The Cost-Benefit Analysis of Legal Aid. The Bar Council provided it to us last week and all 60 pages were circulated to members on Friday. They have much homework. I thank all our contributors and I will open the debate to members.
