Thank you very much for taking the intervention.

I'm not here to defend any cuts to legal aid by the UK Government but, obviously, any additional money to be spent on a devolved system of justice will depend on the Barnett formula. Isn't there an argument for saying that we should be spending the money that we do have, focusing more of that on preventing people entering the justice system in the first place?
