MPs’ surgeries: 75% of constituents raise legal issues
From the Law Society Gazette:
Volunteers from LawWorks, Hogan Lovells, Addleshaw Goddard, Eversheds Sutherland and Mishcon de Reya attended 37 MP surgeries and observed 279 appointments between October 2022 and March 2023. An online survey sent to MPs and caseworkers received 98 responses.
The research found that three-quarters of constituent appointments observed related to legal issues .... 79% had not instructed a lawyer.
