HC Deb 08 June 1891 vol 353 c1821
DR. CAMERON (Glasgow, College)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether his attention has been called to a statement in a recent number of the Perthshire Courier to the effect that the Scottish Prison Commissioners had made overtures to the Military Authorities for the conversion of the general prison at Perth into barracks; and whether any proposal for such a conversion has been made or is in contemplation?

THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. P. B. ROBERTSON,) Bute

There is no foundation whatever for the statement referred to in the question.
