Mr. Monro
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, how many new police stations have been postponed by the Government's economic measures; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Ross
Four new police stations scheduled to be started before May, 1966 have been deferred in response to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's statement on 27th July. I am satisfied that operational efficiency will not be seriously affected. The details are as follows:
| Police Area | Project |
| Edinburgh | District police station, Corstorphine |
| Dumfries and Galloway | Sub-divisional headquarters Lockerbie |
| Perth and Kinross | Police Station, Auchterarder |
| Berwick, Roxburgh and Selkirk. | Divisional headquarters, Galashiels. |
