HC Deb 15 June 1989 vol 154 c512W
Mr. Barry Field

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received about alternative uses for surplus prison property on the Isle of Wight.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The only representations received have been from my hon. Friend on behalf of the Isle of Wight Youth Trust. Of the 19 surplus prison quarters on the Isle of Wight, 10 are to be demolished—mainly on grounds of prison security—and nine sold.
