§ Mr. HurstTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will establish a public inquiry into the death of Christopher Edwards at Chelmsford Prison; [55407]
(2) if he will make a statement on the decision by the European Court of Human Rights in the case of the homicide of Christopher Edwards at Chelmsford Prison. [55409]
§ Beverley HughesI refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave about the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights to my hon. Friend for Hull, North (Mr. McNamara) on 25 April 2002,Official Report, column 438W.
I see no grounds for a new inquiry. The Court recognised the changes that have taken place since
Mr. Edward's death and found no grounds to order further investigation.
