§ Mr. Stratton Millsasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the total sum which has been spent on Magilligan Prison to the latest convenient date; and what plans are envisaged for extending the prison.
§ Mr. Peter MillsThe total recorded expenditure on the provision of accommodation and related works services at Magilligan Prison up to 14th September 1973 was £719,464 but a number of claims in respect of completed and partly completed contracts are outstanding. When such claims are brought to account240W it is expected that the total amount expended will be about £1,400,000.
The possibility of a further extension to relieve the pressure on existing accommodation resources is being considered.
