Neath MP speaks out
Shadow Justice Team News
11th October 2016
“I am pleased to be returning to the Shadow Justice Team as Minister for Courts and Legal Aid, and I am looking forward to building on the work that I have been involved with since my original appointment in January.
I was honored to have been involved in the Bach Commission on access to justice, and am looking forward to the launch of the interim report later this month. The Tories have led a vicious attack on legal aid, leaving many people without support or representation. As the country’s most senior judge, Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, said earlier this year “our system of justice has become unaffordable to most”.
