10 Feb 2026Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1247)

Thank you, Dr Drake, for explaining so well the problems that exist with the small claims track. Isn’t the big inconsistency that having small claims track litigation as reserved legal activity means that solicitors are not going to want to take on the case because they are not going to get paid?

What safeguards do you think might be necessary to ensure that the income generated to improve access to justice is used for that purpose? Do you think we need to put in any safeguards to ensure that the money is used for the purpose that it is generated?

Of all the schemes that you mentioned, which one do you think would be the best to generate sufficient and reliable funding?

Thank you for that. You referred to legal expenses insurance. Again, people taking out household insurance can have legal expenses insurance as part of it. At the moment, that excludes legal expenses in criminal cases. The Bar Council says that such a restriction should be removed. Have you considered that, or is it so

In addition to ILCAs, what do you think are the potentially most beneficial other funding options that could help improve access to justice? I would also add that this week is HeartUnions Week, where people like me and others go round encouraging people to become trade union members. As you will be aware, the trade uni

10 Feb 2026Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1247)

Hello and good afternoon. I am Warinder Juss, MP for Wolverhampton West. I am a member of various APPGs and a member of the GMB trade union executive council.

How do we remove the barriers to accessing online legal services for those who are digitally excluded?

10 Feb 2026Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1247)

We are talking about vulnerable people and people with low legal capability who are in need of help. What more should we be doing to safeguard those people from misinformation?

You said that some of these tools are not effective at all.

10 Feb 2026Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1247)

I have a question on accessing online information, Dr Wintersteiger. Those who are unable to afford access to specialist advice will go to digital legal information and automated consumer tools. How effective are these tools in enabling those with low legal capability to recognise their legal problems and get advice so

10 Feb 2026Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1247)

Have you ever thought about removing the small claims track altogether? Would you ever advocate getting rid of the small claims track? Do you think that might be a way forward?

10 Feb 2026Great British Energy: Bills

In my constituency, almost one in five households have been living in fuel poverty, struggling to heat their homes this winter.
