The legal advice sector has been hit hard by cuts to legal aid. What assessment have you or the Government made about the future increased demand for legal advice from those with insecure immigration status as a result of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union? Specifically, will individuals be able to afford this advice and in your view, is the legal advice sector prepared for a growth in demand for this service?
