Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many rape incidents have occurred in each prison establishment in each month since May 2010.

NOMs collects data on all sexual assaults, but does not separate these into type of assault. Our annual Safety in Custody Statistical Bulletin contains information on the overall numbers of sexual assaults (see table 3.9 in the link https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/495430/safety-in-custody-assaults-dec-2014.xls).

We are committed to running safe prisons. We treat any assault extremely seriously and are working hard to reduce levels of violence in our prisons.
