25th Jul 2024
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will take steps to help ensure that people carrying out jury duty do not suffer financial hardship; and if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of linking compensation to the real living wage.

Juries are a vital part of our criminal justice system and undertake an important civic duty. The support provided to jurors includes measures to assist those who may suffer financial hardship. The Government will keep under review all support provided to jurors throughout their service.

Secretary of State for Transport
