§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is considering building any new prisons in Wales; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggThe forward building programme includes a new prison at Wrexham.
Recommendations have been made in a study commissioned by Clwyd county council into possible sites for prisons across the county as a whole. These will be assessed alongside other possible sites which have been identified in the north-west of England.
No other Welsh sites are at the moment being considered or are in the programme.
