Question
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-7760 by Cathy Jamieson on 7 May 2004, whether it has at any time on or after 29 January 2004 provided any insurance in respect of HM Prison Kilmarnock; whether it currently provides any insurance in respect of the prison, and, if so, whether it will give details of any such insurance.
Answer
I have asked Tony Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) to respond. His response is as follows:
The SPS has not provided and does not provide any such insurance. Kilmarnock Prison Services Limited are responsible for placing insurance cover and have done so in each year of the contract to date.
