Saving money or denying access to justice? How will you be affected by the government's planned cuts to legal aid in England and Wales? The government wants to reduce the current 拢2.1 billion legal aid bill by 拢350 million by 2015. It's planning to scrap financial help for civil cases including those involving welfare benefits, employment, clinical negligence, complaints against the police, education, private family law, most immigration cases and some debt and housing issues.

The government argues the reforms will target those who need it most and provide value for money for taxpayers. So who's right?
