Save the voluntary advice sector: an urgent request from Parliament
Urgent request via ilegal.org.uk - Two key Shadow Ministers urgently need answers to a few quick questions in order to help protect the funding of the voluntary advice sector. Shadow Justice Minister, Andy Slaughter and Shadow Minister for Business, Innovation and Skills, Nia Griffith are trying to get information on the threats to voluntary advice sector funding to use to lobby Government.
It’s info that Andy Slaughter, Yvonne Fovargue etc are trying to get their hands on so that they can use it at the Parliamentary launch next week (16th) on threats to advice sector funding. This is not just about threats to legal aid funding, it’s ALL funding streams, local and national etc.
What we need is as many independent advice centres, law centres and CABx as possible to answer 7 very simple questions. Click on the link below for a copy of the questions and details about where to send your response.
