(asked on 8th December 2020) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
What steps he is taking to ensure the adequacy of funding for Law Centres.
This question was answered on 8th December 2020
Charities in the advice sector play a crucial role in helping people resolve their legal problems across England and Wales, which has been vital throughout Covid-19.
That is why MoJ has provided £5.4m in funding for not-for-profit providers of specialist legal advice. £3m of this was distributed to Law Centres.
We continue to work closely with our stakeholders, including the Law Centres Network, to ensure the advice sector can continue to provide support to the communities they serve.
