Petition Cap Legal Aid to 2 hours

Millions of pounds are spent on legal aid every year. This is taxpayers' money - OUR money!

More details

We want legal aid to be capped to 2 hours, to reduce costs.

We believe Legal Aid has become a racket where the only losers are the British public, irrespective of the outcome of the case involved.

Enter the country illegally and you could have a lawyer at your service funded by the British taxpayers.

We call upon the Government to limit Legal Aid to no more than two hours.

Further costs should be paid for by the individuals themselves.
