    TRANSFORMING LEGAL AID: NEXT STEPS (CP ....../2013) CONSULTATION RESPONSE BY TREASURY COUNSEL TO THE CROWN AT THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT st 31 October 2013 1 OVERVIEW By this Consultation Paper, Transforming Legal Aid: Next Steps, H.M. Government has indicated that it rejects or can ignore much of the content of the thousands of Consultation Responses to its April Paper CP14/2013, particularly as to the future effect on the supply and quality of criminal advocacy services from the proposed changes to legal aid funding. Instead, this second stage: Treats as settled the principle of massive (30%) reductions to VHCC fees, but from a mistaken base and with no good policy justification; Seeks only to consult on the mechanism for introducing further big reductions in fees for Crown Court advocacy (the AGFS changes); Assumes that these changes will have no effect on the provision of advocacy services; and At the same time, suggests that those effects are unquantifiable and so invites consultee assistance as to their impact. The Treasury Counsel team at the Old Bailey considers that: (1) These proposals come as publicly funded fees for criminal advocacy are in the middle of a very steep, downward trajectory (25% savings over 4 years and continuing), the end point and consequences of which are neither complete nor known or understood by policymakers; (2) The current commercial state of the criminal Bar is precarious, as a result of previous policy implementation, so that even small changes in income will now have very significant effects;
