Prisons: Women
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many biological males are currently serving a custodial sentence in a women's prison.

The latest published data on the placement of transgender prisoners (which covers transgender prisoners without gender recognition certificates, and is taken from a snapshot of the prison population on 31 March 2024), there were 2 or fewer transgender women housed within the women’s estate.
