HC Deb 23 January 1998 vol 304 c695W
Mr. Baker

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the circumstances surrounding the suicide of a prisoner within Lewes Prison on Tuesday 20 January. [25000]

Ms Quin

The inquest into the apparent suicide of a prisoner in Lewes prison on 19 January has been opened and adjourned. It would, therefore, be inappropriate for me to comment at this stage in detail on the circumstances surrounding the death.
