HC Deb 20 December 1994 vol 251 cc1008-9W
Mr. Boateng

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what percentage of jurors are currently sent a cheque to cover their expenses claim within five working days of the end of their service; and what percentage receive some payment for days already served before the end of their service.

Mr. John M. Taylor

Since April 1994, all courts in England and Wales have achieved the standard of sending a cheque to jurors to cover their expenses claim with five working days of the end of their jury service.

Information on the percentage of jurors who receive some payment for days already served before the end of their service is not available, and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
