§ Mr. BrakeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he intends to take following the inquest into the death of Glen Howard; and if he will make a statement. [129588]
§ Mr. Charles ClarkeThe Crown Prosecution Service have now received a transcript of the inquest into the death of Glenn Howard. They will be reconsidering the case in light of all the evidence that was presented there and it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the specific details at this stage. However, the use of restraint tactics when dealing with mentally disordered persons is a matter which I understand the police are reviewing as part of the continual process of evaluating and improving training.
