The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when his Department plans to respond to the coroner's Prevention of Future Death report following the death of Mark Pryor.

Answered by Alex Davies-Jones

I can confirm that the Ministry of Justice does not hold policy or operational responsibility for health care in police custody settings. However, in order to resolve any lack of clarity that may exist, the Department will shortly respond formally to the coroner on that basis.
