Vol. 386 No. 1

Written Answers. - Legal Aid Scheme.

66.

asked the Minister for Justice if he will indicate in respect of the last year for which statistics are available, the names of the legal representatives who were paid fees under the legal aid scheme in civil and criminal cases; and in each case, the amount paid.

The last year for which statistics are readily available regarding the earnings of solicitors and barristers under the Criminal Legal Aid Scheme is for the tax year 1986-1987, and in respect of that year the information required by the Deputy was given by me on 23 February 1988, in reply to a Parliamentary Question. [Official Report cols. 569 to 582]. Similar information relating to the years 1987 and 1988 is not readily available and it could not be compiled without the expenditure of a disproportionate amount of staff time.

In so far as the scheme of civil legal aid is concerned I am informed by the Legal Aid Board that the amounts paid to counsel by the board in 1988 are as shown in the following table. Solicitors who provide services under the scheme at the board's various law centres are employed by the board and are not paid fees.
