Crown Immunity: Buildings
Asked by: Lord Foster of Bath (Liberal Democrat - Life peer) Tuesday 15th September 2026 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask His Majesty's Government whether (1) high security hospitals or high security units within hospitals, (2) Immigration Removal Centres, and (3) Young Offender institutions and detention centres, are regulated by the Crown Premises Fire Safety Inspectorate; and whether they are covered by Crown immunity regarding fire risk. Answered by Baroness Blake of Leeds - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) High security hospitals (or high security units within hospitals) are not regulated by the Crown Premises’ Fire Safety Inspectorate (CPFSI). These are inspected by local Fire and Rescue Services.
Immigration Removal Centres are managed by private sector operators and are regulated by the Crown Premises’ Fire Safety Inspectorate (CPFSI). Crown immunity does not apply to the elements of IRCs that are managed by private operators. Where elements remain within the control of the Home Office, Crown immunity applies to these areas only. Short term holding facilities and processing centres operated by the Home Office are regulated by the Crown Premises’ Fire Safety Inspectorate (CPFSI) and Crown immunity does apply.
Young Offender Institutions and Detention Centres form part of His Majesties Prison and Probation Service and are regulated by the Crown Premises’ Fire Safety Inspectorate (CPFSI) and Crown immunity does apply. There are no private operators of Young Offender Institutions and Detention Centres. Secure training schools are privately operated and these are inspected by local Fire and Rescue Services.

Prisoners: Death
Asked by: Lord Foster of Bath (Liberal Democrat - Life peer) Tuesday 15th September 2026 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask His Majesty's Government, in each of the last ten years, how many (1) deaths in prisons have been judged as preventable by coroners, and (2) deaths in prisons have been judged as preventable by coroners where fire or smoke from a fire was the cause or contributed to the death. Answered by Lord Lemos - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice) The Department does not hold data on the number of deaths in prison that have been judged as preventable by coroners as coroners do not always express a clear view about whether a death is preventable. In the last ten years, two deaths in prison have been the subject of coroners' findings indicating that the death may have been preventable, where fire or smoke inhalation from a fire was either the cause of death or a contributing factor. |
