HC Deb 10 November 1921 vol 148 cc663-4W
Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE

asked the Home Secretary if he will reconsider his decision not to exempt midwives from jury service in response to the request pressed on him by the Federation of Medical and Allied Societies, representing the majority of medical and nursing professional associations, as essential to the safety of lying-in women?

Mr. SHORTT

I have no power to exempt anyone from jury service, but the point has been noted for consideration whenever legislation on the subject of liability to jury service is in contemplation.
