HC Deb 19 April 1920 vol 128 cc65-6W
Mr. BOTTOMLEY

asked the Home Secretary whether he will take steps to acquaint all officials responsible for the empanelling of juries with the provisions of the recent Act prohibiting aliens from serving on such bodies?

Mr. SHORTT

The Act in question has been supplied in ordinary course to the proper officers of Courts of Assize and Quarter Sessions, but the hon. Member will observe that, if objection is taken to an alien sitting on a jury, it must be taken, not by the officers of the Court, but by one of the parties to the case.
