§ 79. Sir B. Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that probation officers and ex-police officers are eligible for service on juries; and what steps he will take to amend the position so that no person who may be called upon for public service at any time, or who is aware of the legal procedure used for inquiring into the character of an accused person, shall be called for jury service.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerAs I indicated in reply to a Question by the hon. Member on 1st February last, any changes in the law would require very careful consideration, and I can hold out no prospect of early legislation.
