	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/09/2022 answer text <p>Jurors are summoned randomly by the Jury Central Summoning Bureau (JCSB) using the Electoral Voting Registers, and at the point of being called for jury service a person’s occupation is not known. Each application for deferral or excusal is considered on its own merit, in a way that is both fair to the individual and consistent with the needs of the court in providing a representative jury. Applications for excusal or deferral from NHS staff are being treated particularly sympathetically whilst they are dealing with recovery from the impacts of the pandemic.</p> answering member constituency Dartford answering member printed Gareth Johnson question first answered 29/09/2022 15:32:22 answering member 3970 label Biography information for Gareth Johnson

In addition, once published, the Survey will be available to support planning applications for new lorry parking.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 29/09/2022 11:36:58 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
