HC Deb 18 January 1971 vol 809 cc220-1W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what proportion of persons qualified for jury service in England and Wales are women;

(2) what proportion of persons on the electoral registers in England and Wales are qualified for jury service.

Mr. Carlisle

This information is not readily available and could not be obtained without a disproportionate expenditure of time and money.

Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department to what extent the original reasons for a property qualification for jurors in England and Wales continue to be appropriate in 1971.

Mr. Carlisle

The qualifications for jurors are among the questions relating to jury service which call for consideration in due course.
