This broadly means equal access for workers and the self-employed and limited access for those not working. If these individuals go on to acquire settled status, they will then be able to access benefits on the same terms as comparable UK nationals.</p><p>Legal aid will continue to be available to all that meet the required criteria under the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO) and who require legal services that are within scope of LASPO.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 12/12/2018 16:23:51 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
