The Lord Chancellor may by regulations establish a scheme governing the provision of legal assistance in connection with proceedings before the Tribunal.
If the Lord Chancellor establishes a scheme under subsection (1), it must provide that a person is eligible for assistance only if—
he falls within subsection (3); and
he fulfils such other criteria (if any) as may be prescribed as a result of section 135(1)(d).
A person falls within this subsection if he is an individual who has referred a matter to the Tribunal under section 127(4).
In this Part of this Act "the legal assistance scheme" means any scheme in force under subsection (1).
