§ Mr. Edeasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department the capital value of the buildings, excluding the prison itself, connected with Dartmoor Prison; the date at which the valuation was made; how the valuation is distributed between various types of buildings; and also the annual amount of depreciation allowed for each type of building.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerNo assessment has been made of the market value of the buildings and services, or of the annual amount of depreciation, but it is estimated that the cost of replacing them at a site in another district would be about £750,000. The main item would be the erection of quarters for the prison officers and their families, which would cost about £650,000.
