§ 47. Mr. Onslowasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proportion of the male population of England and Wales between the ages of 21 and 60 years is at present liable for jury service; and what is the corresponding proportion of the female population.
§ Mr. Elystan MorganI regret that this information is not available. In 1964 the Government Social Survey estimated that 7.15 million persons, of whom 11 per cent. were women, were marked as eligible for jury service on the 1964 electoral register and that this represented 22.5 per cent. of an estimated 31.77 million persons on the register.
