4th July, 2005

On the 4th July 2005, we held a small-scale Parliamentary launch of the campaign at Westminster. The meeting was attended by several MPs and Lords and was addressed by, amongst others, the Lord Chancellor and DCA Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Bridget Prentice. We are working towards organising a larger parliamentary event including a co-ordinated parliamentary lobby - at a date to be announced. We will keep you informed of developments and will be asking for your support.

 
Marsha Singh, MP, has tabled an Early Day Motion (EDM 453) welcoming the establishment of the AJA, and calling on the "Government to take urgent action to restore funding levels adequate to ensure access to civil justice for ordinary people. 

The Alliance will be represented at both Liberal-Democrat and Labour Party Conferences this autumn.
