§ Mr. Gourlayasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the additional building in Kirkcaldy was acquired for the use of the procurator fiscal's department; what is the reason for the delay in making use of the building; and when he expects this additional office will become available for the fiscal's staff.
§ Sir George Young[pursuant to his reply, 24 January 1986, c. 339]: The additional building at 3 East Fergus place, Kirkcaldy, was acquired by the Property Services Agency in July 1984. Significant adaptations are necessary to make it fit for occupation by the procurator fiscal. While public expenditure constraints mean that I cannot put these in hand this year, I shall do everything I can to make finance available for this work in 1987. Meanwhile, I deeply regret the problems caused to the procurator fiscal and her staff.
