asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much has been spent on the external and internal upkeep of the G division police station in the Strathclyde police area over the past eight years; and what request has been made by the chief constable of Strathclyde police for a new police station in the Govan area.

The cost of maintaining individual police buildings is a matter for the police authority and information about it is not held centrally. My right hon. Friend has not received any proposal for the provision of a new police station in the Govan area of Glasgow.
