§ 105. Dr. Dickson Mabonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has, in addition to the young offenders' institution being built at Glenochil, to authorise the building of another by 1974 elsewhere in Scotland, for how many prisoners, and where; and when tenders will be sought.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellThe forward prison building programme includes provision for a further male young offenders institution of upwards of 500 places. Several sites in central Scotland are being considered for this purpose, and I hope that a decision will be reached in the course of this year. Detailed planning cannot begin until the site is determined, but I hope it will be possible to seek tenders in 1973.
