Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many pregnant women are in prison in England and Wales (a) in total and (b) for non-violent crimes.

The information requested is not held centrally and could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost. We are currently carrying out a fundamental review of our Mother and Baby Units policy, as part of which, we are looking at what information related to pregnancy and birth can be collected.
