Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the Women’s Justice Board recommendations for reducing women’s imprisonment, published on 16 March 2026, what steps he is taking to establish a residential women’s centre in Wales.

The Women’s Justice Board report, published on 16 March 2026, sets out independent recommendations, which the Government is now carefully considering.

We are continuing to consider how the Residential Women’s Centre in Swansea could be delivered.
