I move amendment No. 15:

In page 6, between lines 10 and 11, to insert the following:

“PART 4

AMENDMENT OF JURIES ACT 1976

Definition (Part 4)

10.In this Part, “Act of 1976” means the Juries Act 1976.”.

This group of amendments inserts a new Part 4 in the Bill which relates to the Juries Act 1976. While there are a number of amendments involved, the central feature is a streamlining of the summoning of jurors. Currently, each county register must summon jurors for his or her own jury district. These amendments will enable jurors to be summoned for all jury districts by one centralised office.
