Prisons: Passive Smoking
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many non-smoking (a) current and (b) former prisoners in the UK have brought cases against HM Courts and Tribunals Service due to illnesses caused by secondary smoking in the last three years.
- Answer
-
The Department is unaware of any claims made by prisoners brought against HM Courts and Tribunals Service due to illnesses caused by secondary smoke in the last three years. HM Courts and Tribunals Service is responsible for prisoners while they are held in holding cells at magistrates and Crown courts and has operated a non-smoking policy at these venues since 1 July 2007 when the smoking ban law was introduced in England.
