laresThu 22/12/11 18:06		"Lord Tebbit in fight to save legal aid for children's medical cases. Former MP for Chingford joined by ex-social security minister Lord Newton in drafting amendment to cost-cutting bill" "The arch-Thatcherite Lord Tebbit is among a group of peers campaigning to save access to legal aid for children involved in medical negligence claims. The former MP for Chingford has been joined by former Conservative social security minister Lord Newton in drafting an amendment that goes against part of a government bill that would cut access to legal aid in order to save money. Tebbit's backing of the amendment to the bill – which is designed to save £350m a year from the Ministry of Justice's annual budget – comes as the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, writes in the Guardian that Britain's legal aid system is facing an "existential crisis" and needs to be streamlined in order to survive. He also condemns parts of the country's legal industry as "failing" and plagued by "outdated methods and unreformed working practices". The government is proposing removing legal aid from all clinical negligence cases as well as other areas such as debt, housing, welfare, employment and family disputes." http://1sq.me/s1Pftf God help us all when Norman Tebbit is the left-wing break on the ConDem government!

varcourThu 22/12/11 18:36		Sorry Don't understand that. A loony is a slang term for a Canadian Dollar, or a duck If people aren't left wing ( which means nothing really) then are all rightwingers some kind of duck?
