Laura was joined by the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, Alex Chalk, at the launch of the new All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Access to Justice. The group, which will be Co-Chaired by Laura and Labour MP Karen Buck, brings together the Pro Bono and Public Legal Education APPG (which Laura previously Chaired) and Legal Aid APPG and will be a vehicle on cross-party work to uphold justice and ensure fair and equal access to the justice system.
Launching the APPG, Laura also spoke about the importance of pro bono legal work and she launched a new pro bono guide which has been drawn up to provide a directory to MPs and others looking to signpost individuals to free legal and other advice. This can be accessed here.
