§ Mr. BAKERasked the Attorney-General whether, in view of the extension of the franchise, he will advise the Government to base the qualification for jury service, with a few exceptions, upon the right to vote; and whether, whenever a reform of this character is under consideration, he will consider the desirability of instituting an age limit so that men of great age may not be called as grand jurors?

Mr. HENDERSONI have been asked to reply. I do not see my way to introduce a Bill to amend the law relating to qualifications for jury service, but when any such Bill is in contemplation the suggestions of the hon. Member will be carefully considered.
