answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2017 answer text <p>The circumstances surrounding the death of Dr David Kelly were considered extensively by my predecessor in 2011. The investigation that he commissioned reviewed all of the relevant documents and evidence. The then Attorney General’s conclusion at the end of that process was that a fresh inquest or inquiry into the death was not warranted. A written statement setting out the detailed reasons for the Attorney’s decision was placed in the House of Commons library in June 2011. That statement was accompanied by a good deal of additional material, including the independent reports that were commissioned.</p><p> </p><p>I am not persuaded there is any reason to re-visit the matter.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 31/10/2017 15:17:21 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2014 answer text <p>At present 15-17 year olds in young offender institutions (YOIs) receive an average of only 12 hours contracted education a week. We have recently set out our plans for transforming youth custody and putting education at the heart of detention, and at the same time launched a competition for new education contracts in public sector YOIs which will more than double the time spend young people spend in education. In addition, we are seeking to put education at the heart of the YOI regime by bringing the head teacher overseeing education into the senior management team of the establishment.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 14/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
