Delivered

Dear Scottish Legal Aid Board,

Please answer the following questions:

1. Is the Scottish Legal Aid Fund, funded by the Public Purse?

2. Are corporate sector legal firms the gatekeepers to the Legal Aid Fund; in that a citizen cannot gain access to this public fund, without the authority, at source, of a corporate legal firm?

3. Which condition-specific, empirical testing method/s is utilised to assure the public that no member of the "Board" - that is any member of the Scottish Legal Aid Board - is a reasonable-minded person, as demanded by law, and is not in fact a high-level, psychopath?

4. Does the Scottish Legal Aid Board make use of the B-Scan 360 test to ensure that no bullying psychopath is employed within its workforce?

Yours faithfully,

Peter McNab
