HC Deb 20 January 1983 vol 35 cc209-10W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when the improvements at Peterhead prison will be completed; and what further improvements are planned for prison officers' facilities and inmates of that prison.

Mr. Allan Stewart

I expect the improvement programme at Peterhead prison to be completed early in 1984. The further facilities to be provided include improved toilet facilities, showers, heating and security measures in two accommodation blocks; improvements and extensions to the kitchen; the new 10-cell unit; two new classrooms; accommodation for the existing multi-gym equipment and a workshop for the segregation party; and an all-weather surface for the present football pitch.
