HC Deb 02 May 1932 vol 265 c820W
Mr. E. WILLIAMS

asked the Home Secretary whether he will introduce legislation to provide that coroners' juries shall in future be drawn from persons possessing such practical or theoretical knowledge as will enable them to weigh evidence properly before arriving at verdicts, and to provide for the preparation of lists of such qualified persons?

Mr. STANLEY

No, Sir. Legislation in the sense suggested would be incompatible with the jury system.
