HC Deb 04 July 1968 vol 767 c256W
42. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement in regard to the death of Mr. Michael Conneely at Wood Green Police Station on 11th June, 1968.

Mr. Callaghan

Mr. Conneely was arrested in the street on the evening of 10th June for being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. I regret to say that he died in the police station on the following morning. A coroner's inquest was opened and adjourned until today. I shall study the findings carefully in consultation with the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis and shall if necessary make a further statement.
