§ Mr. LangI have received reports by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons for Scotland on his inspections of Barlinnie prison, Barlinnie special unit and social work units in Scottish prisons. I have today placed copies of the reports in the Library, together with my responses, and I am sending a copy to the Member in whose constituency the establishments are located; to the Chairman of the Select Committee on Scottish Affairs and the Chairman of the Scottish All-Party Penal Affairs Group and to other interested bodies. Copies may also be purchased from my Department.
