§ Sir A. Wilsonasked the Attorney-General whether his attention has been drawn to the inapplicability to present-day conditions of the qualifications for jurors contained in the Juries Act, 1825, and in particular to the 15-window qualification; and whether he will refer the matter to the Law Revision Committee, or to an ad hoc committee, with a view to an amending Act?

§ Sir S. HoareI have been asked to reply. The question of an inquiry into the law relating to the qualifications for jury service has been noted as one of the matters which should be taken up as soon as an opportunity can be found; but the pressure of public business at the present time is such that I regret I am unable to give this subject priority over other claims.
