HC Deb 15 March 1972 vol 833 c95W
44. Mr. Strang

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the future of the prison system with regard to the treatment of young female detainees.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

A new establishment for the treatment and training of females of all ages is under construction at Cornton Vale, near Stirling. This has been designed to provide a much wider range of training facilities for the younger inmates than is available in the present accommodation at Greenock.
