To ask the Minister of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs how many representations she has received from practising (a) solicitors and (b) barristers about the proposals in the Carter Review report. (94168)

As at 13 October, the DCA and Legal Services Commission (LSC) had received 2,695 responses on the proposals in the consultation paper “Legal Aid: a sustainable future”. Due to the number of responses and the fact that the consultation period only closed on 12 October the LSC is unable to provide a breakdown of responses received from practising solicitors and barristers.
