Mr. Tom Cox

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement as to the proposals for the open land opposite Wandsworth prison and adjoining Alma terrace, Wandsworth, as to the proposed use of this land.

Mr. Mellor

As has been explained previously to the hon. Member in reply to his question of 28 October 1985, at column 344, this land is being used to provide temporary car parking facilities while building works within the establishment are in progress, and it is likely to continue to be needed for these purposes in the immediate future. We are aware that, in the longer term, the local authority wishes to see this land used to provide open space, and, when we no longer need the land for car parking, we shall discuss with the authority its future use.

Mr. Tom Cox

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the present number of car parking spaces available for staff working at Wandsworth prison.

Mr. Mellor

82 car parking spaces are at present available for staff at Wandsworth prison, including 19 spaces provided on a temporary basis on open land adjacent to the prison.
