Offenders: Legal Aid Scheme
(asked on 21st January 2019) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many applications for legal aid have been made by fugitives in each of the last 10 years; and in each case, what was the value of the legal aid received.

This information is not held centrally. Identifying the number of cases where the defendant is recorded as a fugitive would be disproportionately costly.
