	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2016 answer text <br /><p>Every death in custody is a tragedy and we are committed to reducing the number of deaths in prisons.</p><br /><p>Summary statistics on deaths in prison custody by apparent cause are published quarterly, and the latest annual figures, for the ten years to September 2015, can be found in Table 2 of the Safety in Custody statistics bulletin available at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/472712/Safety-in-custody-summary-q2-2015.xls" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/472712/Safety-in-custody-summary-q2-2015.xls</a></p><br /> <br /><p>Figures on the number of deaths caused by the use of “legal highs”, or new psychoactive substances, are not held centrally. All deaths in prison custody are subject to a coroner’s inquest, and it is the responsibility of the coroner to determine the cause of death. The NOMS system for classifying deaths provides a provisional classification for administrative and statistical purposes. The final classifications are determined at inquest.</p><br /> <br /> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 19/01/2016 17:56:17 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2023 answer text <ol start="1"><li><p>The Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice are jointly responsible for judicial discipline. They are supported by the independent Judicial Conduct Investigations Office, which keeps a record of disciplinary findings made against Judicial Office Holders. Those records are kept indefinitely, and any disciplinary sanctions taken against Judicial Office Holders are published on the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office website. A subsequent change of gender and/name by a Judicial Office Holder would have no bearing on the retention of disciplinary records. Should a Judicial Office Holder with a published disciplinary sanction against them subsequently change their name, a note would be made to the published sanction which would identify this.</p></li></ol><ol start="2"><li><p>In relation to prison officers, processes are available to support the changing of an individual’s name and other characteristics within departmental HR records. Regardless of an individual’s gender or name, disciplinary records are retained in line with departmental document retention policies.</p></li></ol> answering member constituency Finchley and Golders Green answering member printed Mike Freer question first answered 30/01/2023 14:03:04 answering member 4004 label Biography information for Mike Freer
