I wish to inform the Deputy that I am currently in the process of appointing members to the Legal Aid Board. I expect that the new Board will be in place in the coming weeks. Members will be appointed in accordance with section 4 of the Civil Legal Aid Act 1995. In making these appointments I will be mindful of the requirements of the Board and select members who will bring a balance of skills and experience suitable to address the task ahead of them.
