Sir Nicholas Dakin
Safe spaces for women are crucial and a No. 1 priority in everything we do.
Jim Allister (North Antrim) (TUV)
The Minister refers to keeping under review the question of placing biological men in women’s prisons. Will he speak to the Justice Minister in Northern Ireland and ensure that she reviews that policy? Only last week she was defending the very policy that puts women at risk from biological men who are claiming the right to be retained in women’s prisons.
Sir Nicholas Dakin
That is a devolved matter, though clearly we are happy to speak to the devolved Government about any issues.
