question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many British nationals have died in police custody in other countries in each of the last five years.
tabling member constituency	Strangford
tabling member printed	Jim Shannon
uin	9441
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text Our current method of recording deaths in custody does not separate those who died in police custody from the overall figure of those who died in custody. Prior to May 2012 we have no statistics on death in custody of British nationals overseas. From May to December 2012 we are aware of two British nationals who died in custody overseas. In 2013 we are aware of ten cases and in 2014 of eleven. This year, up until 31 August, we have been made aware of four cases. To break down the location of death in custody for figures prior to May 2012 would require detailed searches of all detainee records, which would be of disproportionate cost. answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 16/09/2015 12:13:26 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps
