HC Deb 22 April 1993 vol 223 c181W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what guidance is given to the coroners' courts on selection, challenges and declarations of intent by jurors and potential jurors.

Mr. Charles Wardle

The only applicable guidance is Home Office Circular 108/1983 on the Coroners' Juries Act 1983 (Commencement) Order 1983—SI 1983 No. 1454 (c43)—and the Coroners (Amendment) Rules 1983—SI 1983 No. 1539. This referred, among other matters, to the selection of coroners' juries, which since 1 January 1984, has been made by the same machinery as the selection of jurors for other courts.
