Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many women were known to be pregnant while (a) on remand or (b) serving a sentence in HMP Foston Hall set out by ethnicity in each quarter from 31 March 2015 to 30 September 2020.

We do not currently publish pregnancy data routinely.

As part of our fundamental review of policy relating to mothers and expectant mothers in prison, we have committed to providing national pregnancy data in future.

Further information on the review, including our findings and resulting reforms regarding data collection, can be found in our summary report published in July 2020: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/905559/summary-report-of-review-of-policy-on-mbu.pdf
