Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 2: Gabriel Lam on expanding access to justice
Access to justice is not only about enforcement, but is also about affordability, said MP Gabriel Lam. Speaking in parliament on Friday (Feb 27), he wanted to know if the Ministry of Law would review the legal aid eligibility criteria to ensure continued accessibility. He also asked if it would further simplify the procedures for assistance to ease the burden on middle-income litigants.
