§ Mrs. Helen JacksonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he will take to equalise the treatment of unemployed people or jury service with those who are in employment with regard to payment of expenses and national insurance contributions.
Mr. John M. TaylorI have been asked to reply.
The regulations governing allowances for jurors' expenses, including national insurance contributions, have applied to those on jury service who are unemployed on the same basis as those in employment since they came into operation on 1 January 1979.
