HC Deb 07 April 1914 vol 60 c1793
30. Mr. JAMES HOGGE

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether he can now say when it is contemplated to make a beginning with the new Scottish prison at Saughton Mains?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

A beginning has already been made with the construction of main sewers and drains, and the erection of fencing for the new prison at Saughton. These are nearly completed and further work will be taken in hand shortly.

Mr. J. HOGGE

Is the building being erected by some Department of the Government or are the plans being given out competitively?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I would require notice of that question.
