The learned retired judge is calling for a fair legal aid system. That requires money to be spent on it. So no chance of this happening as the demise of the criminal and civil legal aid system has been in full swing since on or before 2008 and we aren't coming to an end anytime soon. A new Government is required before any improvement may take place. That means a general election and a manifesto pledge to ditch the ethos of austerity.
