Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many pregnant woman in Scotland were denied section 4 support under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 for reasons that included an assessment that they were fit to travel; and what the gestation stage of each such woman was when that decision was made in each of the five years to 2013-14.
The information requested is not routinely collected and could only be provided
by examining individual case records, which would result in disproportionate
cost.
