HC Deb 27 November 1980 vol 994 cc179-80W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what negotiations his Department has undertaken about the possible siting of a prison on land at Woolwich Arsenal; what has been the outcome; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hayhoe

The Property Services Agency has told the Ministry of Defence of the Prison Department's interest in acquiring land for a new prison in the eastern part of Woolwich Arsenal, but no decisions have yet been made on this matter.
