HC Deb 25 May 1988 vol 134 c191W
Mr. Allan Stewart

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will place in the Library copies of Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons for Scotland's reports on Aberdeen, Inverness and Dungavel prisons.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

Copies of the reports of Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons for Scotland on Aberdeen, Inverness and Dungavel prisons, with my response, are being placed in the Library today. I have also sent copies of the relevant reports to the Members in whose constituencies the prisons are located and to the chairman of the Scottish all-party penal affairs group, and to other interested bodies. Further copies may also be purchased from the Department.
