§ Mr. HurstTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many remand prisoners who died while in custody in each year from 1992 to 1997 were(a) suffering from psychiatric illness and (b) the victims of murder or manslaughter. [31606]
§ Ms QuinThe numbers of unsentenced prisoners who were the victims of homicide in each year from 1992 to 1997 are shown in the table.
As information regarding the numbers of unsentenced prisoners suffering from psychiatric illness who died between 1992 and 1997 will take some time to collate, I will write to the hon. Member on that point.
Homicide of unsentenced prisoners: 1992–97 Number 1992 1 1993 — 1994 1 1995 — 1996 1 1997 —
