HC Deb 10 February 1972 vol 830 c446W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Attorney-General when arrangements are to be made to amend the provisions of Section I of the Juries Act. 1949, to get rid of the anomalies which sometimes result in financial loss being suffered by those who are summoned for jury service.

The Attorney-General

It is hoped to amend this provision as soon as a suitable opportunity for legislation occurs. In the meantime sympathetic consideration will be given to cases where defects in the existing law would result in financial loss being suffered by a person summoned for jury service.
