	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/01/2015 answer text <p /> <p>The Jeffrey Review clearly identifies a number of challenges for criminal advocacy services. The Government is committed to working with the profession in the first half of 2015 to make progress on reforms that will ensure the legal aid advocacy market operates competitively, sustainably and in such a way as to optimise quality. In particular, the Government proposes to take steps to ensure that defendants in criminal cases always have an informed and effective choice of the advocate who is to represent them. The Government also proposes to take measures to strengthen the current ban by the Legal Aid Agency on the payment or receipt of referral fees and to address any potential conflicts of interest. We want to make sure that defendants are fully aware of the choices available to them and that only advocates who are sufficiently qualified by their training and experience represent defendants in cases in the Crown Court.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 06/01/2015 11:39:17 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

This includes honouring all those who have fallen by observing a period of silence when sitting on Armistice Day. The Prime Minister also remains committed to continuing to pay tribute to those who have died and been named by the Ministry of Defence. What individual Members are allowed to do on the floor of the House is largely a matter of practice and convention under the control of Mr Speaker. The Government has no plans to change the current procedures but we will keep it under review.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 08/06/2015 16:40:00 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
