HC Deb 07 July 1915 vol 73 c367
62. Mr. WING

asked the Attorney-General if, in order to release men jurors during the War, he will consider the desirability of introducing legislation to allow women to act as jurors, as suggested by the deputy-coroner for West Lancashire?

Sir J. SIMON

My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. No such difficulty in finding jurors has arisen as would justify the Government in proposing legislation on what would be a somewhat contentious subject.
