Oral Answers to Questions

Chris Ruane Excerpts

Wednesday 3rd July 2013 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Order. There are some very noisy private conversations taking place in the Chamber. Let us hear Mr Chris Ruane.

[Chris Ruane (Vale of Clwyd) (Lab)]

The legal aid cuts in my constituency will affect many of my constituents, who will also be affected by the closure of the Rhyl family court, the closure of the Rhyl Army recruitment centre, the closure of the Rhyl tax office and, on top of all that, the closure of the Crown post office. How will that help the regeneration of Rhyl?

[Mr Jones]

With regard to legal aid, I can only reiterate the answer I gave the hon. Member for Islwyn (Chris Evans): the Government’s proposals are to ensure that choice is available to clients and solicitors’ firms.
