§ COLONEL HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he can state when the Lord Chancellor will introduce the measure contemplated dealing with the Jury Laws; and if, having regard to the facts brought forward showing that the liability to jury service of the Volunteer 274 Force extends to only 25 per cent. of the non-commissioned officers, and eight, per cent. of the privates, Her Majesty's Government see their way to extend the concession as regards the officers to other ranks?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY, WAR OFFICE (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, GuildfordThe Lord Chancellor has not yet informed me of the date when he proposes to introduce the measure dealing with the Jury Laws. I am afraid I must ask my hon. and gallant Friend to bring his influence to bear upon the Lord Chancellor to secure the further concession he desires.
