Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of (a) foreign and (b) British national defendants of each (i) sex and (ii) ethnic group were sentenced to immediate custody for each offence type in the last year for which information is available.
This question was answered on 14th September 2017
Reliable information on the proportion of foreign and British national defendants of each sex and ethnic group who were refused bail or sentenced to immediate custody could only be provided at disproportionate cost because court proceedings data does not include information on nationality.
