    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 60 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) — (a) by deleting the word “and” appearing in paragraph (d); (b) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (d)- “(dd) the number of cases being handled by the legal aid provider at any given time; and,” Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, clarifying and adding that section helps us to know because some of these legal aid providers might be overwhelmed and might be accredited to handle too many cases. We need to regulate that and make sure that it is part of the issues that the registrar of accredited legal aid providers can deal with. On part (c), the nature of the services in respect of which legal aid providers are accredited are interesting to look at that. I would urge Members to think about it because you might find legal aid providers who are only accredited in some aspects of the law and not in others. If we do not monitor and keep a record of what they are accredited to do, we might find quacks pretending to practise and support legal aid in areas they are not accredited to."
