Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what discussions his Department has had with coroners courts conducting inquests on prison suicides about measures to reduce such suicides. [19951]

We have drawn the attention of coroners to Prison Service guidance on a range of matters, including measures aimed at reducing the number of prison suicides. The issues were also discussed at a seminar for coroners on deaths in custody.
