asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many wet shelters he proposes building in the next two years in Scotland.

Mr. Fairgrieve

My right hon. Friend has no such proposals at present.

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many wet shelters there are available currently in Scotland.

Mr. Fairgrieve

None. Police have no powers in Scotland as yet to take drunken persons to such places as an alternative to arrest.
