Every death in custody is a tragedy, and we are committed to reducing the number of deaths in prisons. We work hard to learn lessons from each death, and we have accepted and acted on the vast majority of recommendations from recent investigations by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman, including those relating to new psychoactive substances brought together in the Ombudsman’s bulletin.
NOMS is aware of the increase of the use of these psychoactive substances across the prison estate and there is a wide-ranging programme of work being undertaken to counteract them. This includes joint work with the Home Office on legislation, the Psychoactive Substances Bill, to tackle the supply across the UK. This will allow governors to press for the prosecution of those supplying new psychoactive substances in prisons. Additionally, work is underway to develop new drug tests to detect these substances, and to train drug dogs to detect them, as well as to strengthen perimeter defences. NOMS is also working with the police and Crown Prosecution Service to ensure that there is as effective a response as possible to any new psychoactive substance being brought or thrown into prison. We will continue to explore new methods of preventing drugs coming into prisons such as new generation body scanners. We have also included a clause within the Serious Crime Bill, which with Parliaments agreement will create an offence of throwing or projecting any item over a prison perimeter so that it lands in a prison.
There is a continuing campaign to ensure that all prisoners are aware of the very serious risks that new psychoactive substances bring, and NOMS is working with Public Health England on updating clinical guidance on the management of substance misuse in adult prisons and providing a new psychoactive substances toolkit specifically for prisons.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate he has made of the number of deaths from air pollution in (a) London, (b) Cardiff, (c) Edinburgh and (d) Birmingham in each of the last 10 years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate he has made of the number of deaths from air pollution in (a) London, (b) Cardiff, (c) Edinburgh and (d) Birmingham in each of the last 10 years.
Estimates of the fraction of mortality in English local authority areas and regions in 2010 and 2011 attributable to long-term exposure to particulate air pollution arising from human activities are published by Public Health England as one of the indicators in the Department of Health's Public Health Outcomes Framework.
For London, this figure was approximately 7.2% in both years. In Birmingham, the figures were approximately 6.4% for 2010 and 5.9% for 2011. Figures for Cardiff and Edinburgh have not yet been published.

Letter from Glen Watson, dated November 2013:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking the Minister for the Cabinet Office what changes there have been in the number of deaths resulting from the use of paracetamol and co-proxamol in each of the last five years. (177090)
The following table provides the number of drug-related deaths associated with paracetamol (not from a compound formulation) and co-proxamol (paracetamol and dextropropoxyphene) in England and Wales, for deaths registered between 2008 and 2012 (the latest year available).
It is important to note that up to 30% of these deaths had more than one substance mentioned on the death certificate, and it is not possible to tell which drug was primarily responsible for the death. Also for around 10% of drug related deaths no information is provided on the death certificate about which substances were involved. More information on how to interpret data on drug-related deaths can be found in the following bulletin.
The number of deaths related to drug poisoning registered in England and Wales each year by sex, age, cause and the specific substance involved are published annually on the National Statistics website. The latest Statistical Bulletin on deaths from drug-related poisoning was published in August 2012 at:
http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/subnational-health3/deaths-related-to-drug-poisoning/index.html

Cause of death related to drug poisoning was defined using the
International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD 10) codes
shown in Box 1
following. 2 Deaths were included where the underlying cause was drug-related, and where paracetamol or co-proxamol was mentioned on the death certificate. Figures for paracetamol do not include paracetamol from a compound formulation. Figures for co-proxamol include those where both paracetamol and dextropropoxyphene were mentioned and where dextropropoxyphene was mentioned alone as it is very rarely ingested except in combination with paracetamol. 3 Figures include deaths of non-residents. 4 Figures are based on deaths registered, rather than deaths occurring in years 2008 to 2012. Due to the length of time it takes to hold an inquest, it can take months for a drug-related death to be registered in England and Wales and Northern Ireland. Registration delays do not exist in Scotland. Additional information on registration delays for drug-related deaths can be found in the annual statistical bulletin: www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/subnational-health3/deaths-related-to-drug-poisoning/index.html |

[146041]
The Department does not collect the information requested. The Department did become aware of four carbon monoxide poisoning incidents caused by ovens sold or manufactured by Beko (over the period of November 2008 to January 2009): three in the UK and one in the Irish Republic, which resulted in six deaths. This information was immediately passed to the manufacturer who has the responsibility and liability for the product and to their local authority Trading Standards service. While the Department has responsibility for the product safety legislation, responsibility for enforcement is a matter for Trading Standards.

That this House records its sorrow at the deaths of 54 British soldiers in Afghanistan in the past 14 months and salutes their courage and professionalism; regrets the misplaced optimism of the belief that the Helmand mission could be over in three years `without firing a single shot'; notes that half a million rounds have already been fired and little reconstruction has been finished because of the absence of non-governmental organisations; calls for a reassessment of the Helmand mission; is appalled at the abject failure of the poppy eradication programme, which has resulted in record production and the lowest ever price of heroin on British streets; is convinced that the threat to destroy the main livelihood of the people of Helmand has incited murderous resentment against UK troops and increased both support for the Taliban and the threat of terrorism in the UK; and believes that the only practical reform would be to license poppy farmers to use their crops to end world shortages of morphine and codeine.
