§ Mr. Dempseyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what consideration he is giving to the building of new divisional headquarters for the northern division of the Lanarkshire Constabulary, regarding site, accommodation and possible cost.
§ Mr. ROSSI accept that new divisional headquarters are required for the Northern Division of the Lanarkshire Constabulary. I understand that the Joint Police Committee proposes to acquire268W the site of the former greyhound and sports stadium at Ellis Street, Coat-bridge; its original estimate of the cost was £120,000. The personnel for whom accommodation is to be provided has been agreed and discussions have taken place on the design and layout of the building. I am now awaiting submission of revised sketch plans.
