HC Deb 08 December 1977 vol 940 c842W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if the Prison Service in Scotland is up to strength; and if he is satisfied with the number of recruits to the service.

Mr. Millan

In general, the Scottish Prison Service is up to strength, but there have been certain difficulties in filling some specialist posts. These have now largely been resolved and recruitment is in hand.
