I came into the law in 1968 and my firm did legal aid work. The Green Form scheme (which paid out up to £75 – 40 years ago!!!) funded the cost of aiding clients to fill in the legal aid application form.

Bit by bit legal aid became less attractive and solicitors started to make noises. They have been doing so now for decades. We cannot go on etc.

Trouble is we do go on & so why should the government take any notice. “Your crying wolf” they will say.
