Juries: Allowances
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of jury service loss-of-earnings allowances in meeting the cost of living of jurors.
- Answer
-
Jury service is an important civic duty, and the Government is committed to ensuring jurors feel supported throughout their service. All support for jurors is kept under review to ensure that it remains appropriate and accessible. Where jury service is likely to result in financial hardship, the jury summoning process provides for applications for deferral or excusal from service.
