Prisons: Smoke Alarms
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many cells across the prison estate are not in use owing to not having a smoke alarm.
Answered by Ministry of Justice
No prison cells are currently out of use owing to absence of fire detection equipment. Prison cells either have in-cell automatic fire detection, or domestic smoke detectors which are placed immediately outside cell doors.
