At a meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Legal Aid in November 2017, the Legal Aid Practitioners Group (LAPG) launched a leaflet aimed at educating MPs, their assistants and local councillors about legal aid. The leaflet covers the areas of law that remain within scope. LAPG will also provide training to MP caseworkers to increase awareness of what problems legal aid covers so they can refer their constituents appropriately.
