Prisoners: Foreign Nationals

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many foreign nationals held in the prison estate have previously been detained after conviction.

The information requested could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. This is because it would require data linking between prison data and the Ministry of Justice extract of the police national computer.
