The three ex-MPs have brought together some of the country's most eminent barristers, who can charge hundreds of pounds an hour, to fight their cases.
An HM Courts Service spokesman confirmed an application for legal aid for the three men was granted last Friday.

this is probably why they are getting legal aid ,as far as i know legal aid is means tested ,any one of us would not be allowed to use top ranking barristers on legal aid why are they ? the barristers will probably want this case for the publicity but shouldn't someone be able to step in and say "no you can't then you will have to get a cheaper one"
