To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has responded to the petition about deaths in custody from families of the deceased; and if he will make a statement. [98150]

I met representatives of the United Families and Friends Campaign, the authors of the petition, on 26 April this year and my officials have subsequently been in correspondence with them. I am considering the petition and will respond shortly.
