§ Mr. CummingsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prisoners on remand and how many who have been sentenced have committed suicide in Her Majesty's prison, Elvet, Durham, during the last five years.
§ Mr. MellorThe table shows the number of inmates who have died at Her Majesty's prison, Durham since 1985. All these deaths were confirmed as suicide at a coroner's inquest. There have been two deaths at the prison so far in 1990, both of convicted inmates, but an inquest has been held in neither case. One of these deaths is thought to have been suicide.104W
