<p>In relation to barristers, a statistical publication was released on 2 January
2014 which is available at <a title="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/legal-aid-statistics-barrister-fee-income-from-public-sources-201213"
href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/legal-aid-statistics-barrister-fee-income-from-public-sources-201213"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/legal-aid-statistics-barrister-fee-income-from-public-sources-201213</a>.
This contains information for the financial year 2012/13 on the data and methodology
used and includes payments from both the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and Legal
Aid Agency (LAA).</p><p> </p><p>Table 1 below contains LAA statistics for 2012-13
as per the published statistics, but covering criminal legal aid only, excluding non-criminal
legal aid and CPS payments, with ranking from 1-50.</p><p> </p><p>In relation to chambers,
the Ministry of Justice does not hold the information that has been requested. The
LAA does hold an address for each barrister but does not record as routine which chambers
they work at as there is no legal or business requirement for it to do so, and each
barrister can work for multiple chambers during their working life.</p><p> </p><p
