To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many babies were born to women in prison in each year since 2010.

Information on the number of women who have given birth in prison is not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. To provide this information, a manual search of every female prisoner’s record would be required.

Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
