Conservative MP Nigel Evans told ITV News the "trauma" of his trial for sexual assault made him realise the "first-hand consequences" of cutting legal aid. He said he "might" have voted for the cuts, but now understood the problems they could create.
Tory MP Nigel Evans is entitled to reclaim part of his legal costs from successfully defending himself against charges of rape and sexual assault, the Ministry of Justice has said.
A spokesman said:
"Anyone who has applied for legal aid and is subsequently acquitted of a crime is entitled to be repaid at least part of their legal costs - irrespective of whether their application was accepted."
