Prisoners: Marriage

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many (a) marriages and (b) civil partnership ceremonies have taken place in prisons in the last three years.
Answer

The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) does not keep a central record of the number of marriages or civil partnership ceremonies that take place in prisons. This information could be obtained only by contacting every prison establishment individually which would incur disproportionate cost.
