uin	131126
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2018 answer text <p>In response to the Court of Appeal judgment, the Government decided to reinstate criminal legal aid funding to three discrete areas of prison law, namely: pre-tariff reviews where the Secretary of State seeks the advice of the Parole Board on whether life and Imprisoned for Public Protection prisoners may be transferred to open conditions; Category A Reviews; and referrals to close supervision centres. At the same time, the Government also decided to bring referrals to separation centres within scope of criminal legal aid. The regulations giving effect to these changes came into force on 21 February 2018.</p><p> </p><p>The impact assessment published alongside the regulations confirmed that this policy change would result in increased expenditure from the Criminal Legal Aid Fund estimated to be in the region of £1.1 million per year (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2017/1319/impacts).</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 15/03/2018 10:00:04 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer previous answer version 47365 answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
