§ Mr. Dempseyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what proposals he has received from Lanark County Council regarding the replacement of the structurally dangerous court buildings in Airdrie; what consideration he has given to these proposals; where the new buildings will be sited; and what steps he proposes to take to end the delay in proceeding with the work.
§ Mr. RossThe sheriff court house at Airdrie is no longer in use and the court now sits at Coatdkye where a building has been converted into a temporary court house. Lanarkshire County Council propose to build a new permanent court house on a site in Graham Street, Airdrie, and they were authorised to proceed with planning last month.
