Letter from M. D. Huebner to Mr. David Nicholson, dated 29 April 1996:
The Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department has asked me to reply to your Question on the number of complaints that have been received about the procedure for jury selection and excusal.The Court Service does not collate information about this specific area of complaint centrally and to obtain a precise figure would incur a disproportionate cost.
