Jurors: Mental Health Impact

Lord Mackenzie of Framwellgate Excerpts

Tuesday 28th March 2023 Lords Chamber

[Lord Bellamy (Con)]

My Lords, I entirely accept that comment.

[Lord Mackenzie of Framwellgate (Non-Afl)]

My Lords, does the Minister share my concern and surprise that no one has mentioned the welfare of police officers who have to sit through hours of usually pornographic material involving children, which can have a tremendous effect on their stress levels?

[Lord Bellamy (Con)]

I entirely share the sentiment expressed by the noble Lord.
