Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many foreign-born criminals (a) are in prison and (b) were released under the revised terms of the early release scheme since 10 September 2024 in (i) Ashfield constituency and (ii) Nottinghamshire.

Information on the number of Foreign Nationals in prisons can be found in Table 1_Q_11 here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/66a1167cce1fd0da7b592c8d/Prison-population-30-June-2024.ods.

Data on SDS40 releases at the local level forms a subset of data intended for future publication. Therefore, data on foreign nationals released under SDS40 in the Ashfield Constituency and Nottinghamshire is not available. The number of prison places projected to be saved nationally by SDS40 releases are set out in the Impact Assessment (between 4,600 and 5,900 prison places for the male estate).
