Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it will decide on a final design plan for HMP Glasgow.
Answer
I have asked Teresa Medhurst, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service (SPS), to respond. Her response is as follows:
HMP Glasgow will deliver safe and secure accommodation, with maximum possible benefit and opportunity to those who live and work there, as well as the surrounding communities. The new prison will provide a better quality of living environment and enable strong relationships with staff and those in our care.
The final design will be concluded in summer 2024, prior to the planned award of the construction contract that is scheduled for autumn 2024.
