The Lord Chancellor has confirmed that we shall conduct an evidence-based review of Part 1 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, assessing the changes to legal aid provision against their original objectives.<\/p>

<\/p>

As part of the review process, we have been engaging with a number of Government departments to fully ascertain the impact of LASPO. This includes the Home Office, the Department for Education, the Department for Work and Pensions and the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government.

The Government is currently undertaking a post-implementation review of the impact of the legal aid changes made under Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO) and remains committed to publishing the findings by the end of this year.<\/p>

<\/p>

The post-implementation review will assess the extent to which LASPO targeted legal aid to those who need it most \u2013 which was one of the objectives set out at the time of the reforms.<\/p>

<\/p>

It is right that we take time to review the evidence gathered from our engagement with experts and interested parties from across the field, to establish the impact of the changes.<\/p>

It has commissioned the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) to carry out research through a quantitative longitudinal survey of capped households under Housing Benefit and Universal Credit, and qualitative case studies of local authorities. This research is being undertaken alongside in-house DWP analysis of capped households, which will be peer reviewed by the IFS.<\/p>
