Legal Aid Scheme: Expenditure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much has been spent on legal aid in the last 12 months.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
Information about legal aid expenditure is published on a quarterly basis. The requested information can be accessed via this link. See tables 1.1 (Criminal Legal Aid) and 1.2 (Civil Legal Aid). These figures represent the closed case expenditure i.e. the total value of payments made to legal aid providers in relation to pieces of work that are completed within the specified period.
The published data covers up to financial year 2023-24.
