Part 3: Enforcement Section 60: Limitation on detention of pregnant women
This section sets out certain limitations on the detention of women who the Secretary of State is satisfied are pregnant.
	Subsection (2) provides that pregnant women may not be detained under a relevant detention power (as defined in subsection (8)) unless the Secretary of State is satisfied that the woman is shortly to be removed from the UK or there are exceptional circumstances to justify detention.
	Subsection (3) sets out that regard must be had to a pregnant woman's welfare when a decision on detention is being reached.
	Subsections (4) and (5) provide that a pregnant woman must not be detained for more than 72 hours from either the point at which the Secretary of State is satisfied that she is pregnant, or the point at which the detention begins (whichever is the later of the two). Detention can be extended up to a period of seven days in total if that longer period is authorised personally by a Minister of the Crown.
