HC Deb 08 February 1984 vol 53 c680W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has yet received the report from the governor on the riot which took place on 10 January 1984 at Peterhead prison; and if it is his intention to publish it or place a copy in the Library.

Mr. Ancram

The report has been received and is being studied. As it deals inter alia with questions related to prison security, it will not be published or placed in the Library. As I promised in my reply to his questions on 19 January—[Vol. 52, c.307]—I shall write to my hon. Friend when my study of the governor's report has been completed.
