Question to the Ministry of Justice:
What plans his Department has to increase access to justice.
This question was answered on 9th June 2020
Access to justice is a fundamental right and this government is committed to ensuring that everyone can get the timely support they need to access the justice system.
We announced our vision for resolving legal problems earlier and increasing access to justice through the Legal Support Action Plan, including the role technology can play in identifying legal problems.
Despite various real demands of Covid-19 on the MoJ, we have continued to prioritise a new £3.1m grant that will further enhance legal support for litigants in person over the next two years.
