- Question
- To ask the Minister of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs what data her Department collects on the ethnic composition of juries; and what recent research her Department has conducted into the under-representation of ethnic minorities on juries.
- Answer
-
The Department for Constitutional Affairs does not collect data on the ethnic composition of juries, or any other data for monitoring purposes. As jury selection is a random process there is no business requirement to collect data on ethnicity. A research project looking at the ethnic make-up of juries from summoning through to service, commissioned by DCA, is due to be published in 2006.
