HC Deb 20 July 1990 vol 176 c748W
Mr. Nicholas Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement about the death of Philip Andrew Knight in Swansea prison.

Mr. Mellor

The circumstances surrounding the death of Philip Knight will, as in all cases of death in prison custody, be thoroughly investigated at a coroner's inquest. It would not be right for me to comment on the details of the case until the inquest has taken place.
