McMillan comments on HMP Inverclyde announcement

Following the announcement by the Scottish Prison Service that they have identified a preffered site for the new HMP Inverclyde prison.

Mr McMillan said;

"This choice of site isn't too much of a surprise. When I met with SPS representatives a few months ago they did highlight there was a range of possible options.

At the time I raised the issue of consultation with the public and they did state there would be extensive consultation.

I would now expect this consultation process to begin as soon as possible so that members of the public who live within the vicinity have an opportunity to make their feelings known."
