56. Mr. Mclnnesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if Duke Street Prison, Glasgow, has now ceased to be used for prison purposes: and if the 59W buildings will be demolished and the site made available to Glasgow Corporation.
§ Mr. J. StuartDuke Street Prison will be vacated as soon as alternative accommodation for the women prisoners is available. In intimating to Glasgow Corporation my recent decision on the Glasgow Development Plan, I asked the Corporation to submit revised proposals for the Townhead-Glasgow Cathedral area, which includes the prison site. The disposal and ultimate use of the site will be considered in connection with these proposals.
