HL Deb 20 July 1989 vol 510 c1028WA
Lord Graham of Edmonton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will publish the figures for incidents classified as (a) suicides and (b) self mutilations for each month from January 1988 to the latest date, for both Leeds and Hull Prisons.

Earl Ferrers

At HM Prison Leeds there was one death of an inmate later recorded as a suicide in each of the months May, June, October and November 1988 and February 1989. There were no such deaths in the period from January 1988 to the present at HM Prison Hull. Information on self-injury is not recorded on a monthly basis, but five incidents in 1987/88 and 39 in 1988/89 were reported by the medical officer at Leeds Prison. The corresponding figures for Hull were 53 and 93.
