HC Deb 27 July 1972 vol 841 c360W
Mr. St. John-Stevas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make a statement on the recent practice of excluding Roman Catholics from jury service in cases involving abortion.

Mr. Carlisle

One case of the kind mentioned has been reported, but I am satisfied that there is no general practice of excluding Roman Catholics from jury service in cases involving abortion.
