00:13 - 01:36
Speaker 3
Hear, hear! It's a pleasure to serve under your chairship today. This statutory instrument before us today makes a series of technical but important amendments to the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 and associated regulations. Its purpose is to ensure that legal aid legislation remains consistent and aligned with wider changes to law around anti-social behaviour orders and national security measures. The instrument makes changes in three main areas.
First, it updates the scope of civil legal aid to reflect the reforms to measures tackling anti-social behaviour introduced by the Crime and Policing Act 2026. Second, it clarifies the legal aid framework for terrorism prevention and investigation measures, otherwise known as TPIMs. And third, it aligns the legal aid framework for state threats prevention and investigation measures, or STPIMs, with that for TPIMs. Taken together, these changes ensure that legal aid will continue to support the vital principle of access to justice whilst maintaining a coherent and accessible system. I'll briefly discuss each of the main changes.
First, measures that tackle anti-social behaviour. The Crime and Policing Act 2026 introduced respect orders, youth injunctions and housing injunctions. These measures replace or reform much of the existing anti-social behaviour injunction regime. Civil legal aid is already available for current anti-social behaviour injunctions. This instrument simply ensures that legal aid continues to be available for the new orders and injunctions.
