Terrorism: Northern Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, how much legal aid has been granted in relation to Troubles related representations for Inquests since the end of Operation Banner, 1998 onwards.
Answered by Hilary Benn
The UK Government does not hold this information as Justice and legal aid are devolved in Northern Ireland. The Legal Services Agency, an executive agency sponsored by the Northern Ireland Department of Justice, administers the provision of legal aid in Northern Ireland.
Information on legal aid expenditure can be found on the Legal Services Agency Northern Ireland website.
