The UK, which began providing legal aid services in 1949, established a Legal Services Commission (LSC) within the Department for Constitutional Affairs in 2000. In a country with a population only 2.6 times that of Taiwan, the LSC has a budget that is 105 times as big (£ 2 billion, or about NT $ 126 billion) and handles 80 times as many cases (2.6 million).
人口是台灣 2.6 倍的英國，早在 1949 年就有法扶制度，2000 年並在憲政事務部下成立法律服務委員會，預算 20 億英鎊（約合新台幣 1,260 億元），是台灣的 105 倍，處理案件量高達 260 萬件，為台灣的 80 倍。
