@HLPA_UK @HF_LawCentre @WeAreLAPG @Heidi_Labour @macklawlondon A plea now:

for rates that reflect inflation &the 26 yr hiatus since an increase,

Scope- allow lawyers to address the issue as a whole

Bureaucracy- reduce the unecessary administration& bureaucracy associated with delivering the service

Uprate means threshold

For trust

[Ro_LAPG @RohiniJanaLAPG]

And #LAPGConf24 is off with the warmest of welcomes from CEO @ChrisLAPG to all our practitioners, policy specialists and students in a packed room. It’s such a privilege to be part of this community and huge thanks to our hosts HSF #WeAreLegalAid - come say hello if you’re here
