The Court of Session ruled it unlawful to hold biological males anywhere on the women's prison estate. Can the Minister set out a timeline for all women's prisons right across the UK to remove biological males so that they can fully comply with the Supreme Court ruling brought about by For Women Scotland?
Context
In Scotland, a court ruling has mandated the removal of biological males from women's prisons. The question addresses whether similar actions will be taken in England and Wales to comply with the Supreme Court decision.

The judgment in Scotland relates to prison rules that apply in Scotland only—England and Wales have separate rules. The rules introduced in 2023 mean that transgender women with male genitalia or any history of violent or sexual offending are not held in the women's estate, except in truly exceptional cases signed off at a ministerial level.
