Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much was given in legal aid to foreign nationals in each of the last five years.
Legal aid expenditure since 2010 is published as part of the Legal Aid Agency’s official statistics. The most recent publication can be viewed here [see table 1.0] and includes expenditure up to 31 March 2025.
Information about legal aid expenditure in respect of foreign nationals is not centrally recorded.
