§ 17. Mr. MESSERasked the Home Secretary if he is aware of the hardship inflicted on many small business men by being compelled to attend several days as jurors without expenses; and if he will inquire into the possibilities of establishing a fund for the payment of jurors' expenses?
§ Mr. CLYNESI recognise that cases of hardship may occur, but I regret that I do not feel able to consider a proposal to place a new charge of this character on public funds.
