Conclusion (the committee's words)
The government is in our view not taking sufficient steps, or exercising its full powers, in relation to fulfilling the Lord Chancellor’s statutory duty. This is evidenced by the poor level of service provision across all categories of law. (Conclusion, Paragraph 114)
