answer text

<p>Our legal aid system is a fundamental pillar of access to justice; that is why we have made sure that legal aid continues to be available for the most vulnerable in our society and for the most serious cases. The Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 provides for legal aid to be available, among other matters, for asylum cases, immigration detention, immigration applications and appeals in cases of human trafficking and modern slavery, subject to a test of the applicant’s financial means and the merits of their case.</p><p>This government is absolutely committed to ensuring access to justice, and it will remain at the heart of our reforms.</p>
