asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the circumstances of the death of a young coloured prisoner called Campbell on 7th May 1978 in Her Majesty's Prison, Bristol; and in what kind of cell Campbell had been held for the four days prior to his death.

Mr. Campbell was found dead on 7th May 1978 in the hospital at Bristol Prison where he had been since 27th April. At the adjourned inquest on 2nd June a verdict of death from natural causes was returned. I understand he died from a rare blood disease. He had been located in a special observation cell in the hospital since 5th May in view of his disturbed behaviour.
