HC Deb 14 April 1975 vol 890 c24W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what were the causes of the 43 deaths from non-natural causes that occurred in prison establishments in 1973.

Dr. Summerskill

It is regretted that, owing to a misprint, two figures in Appendix No. 9 of the report on the work of the Prison Department 1973 (Cmnd. 5767) have been transposed. These figues, under the heading "All establishments", should read:

Natural causes 43
Non-natural causes 4

The position, with some further detail, is correctly stated in paragraph 213 of Cmnd. 5767.
