§ 74. Mr. Blenkinsopasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department to specify the capital works on prisons provided for in 1956–57 Estimates that are now to be deferred.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeThere will be a deferment to some extent of the following projects; the second new prison which is planned; the East-Hubert Psychiatric Institution; two new detention centres; two Borstal Institutions; a number of officers' quarters and a small number of miscellaneous capital works, mainly improvement of existing buildings. I hope that it will nevertheless be possible to complete within the current financial year the purchase of the site for the new prison and to make a start on site works in connection with the East-Hubert Institution. The adaptation of premises for a fourth detention centre will not be affected.
