§ 70. Mr. JAMES HOGGEasked the Secretary for Scotland the extent of the site for the new prison in Edinburgh; the price paid for it and its present rateable value; and whether he can give any idea of the scheme of the proposed buildings, and the kind of work proposed to be carried out by the prisoners on the new site when it is completed?
Mr. McKINNON WOODThe site is about 40 acres, but I am not yet in a position to give the other details asked for. I may say, however, that it is in contemplation to utilise part of the land to provide outdoor occupation for prisoners.
