§ Mr. McInnesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if Duke Street Prison, Glasgow, has now ceased to be used for prison purposes; and what proposals 300W have been formulated for the demolition of the buildings and the future of the site.
§ Mr. J. StuartDuke Street Prison will be closed next spring when the adaptations at Greenock Prison to provide alternative accommodation for the women prisoners are complete. As stated in reply to the hon. Member's Question on 11th May, I asked Glasgow Corporation, as the planning authority, to submit revised proposals for the area which includes the prison site. I understand that the corporation has the matter under consideration, but no firm proposals have yet been submitted to me.
