Magilligan Prison (Firing Range)

Mr. Alton
asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will take steps to ensure that the firing range situated close to Magilligan prison, Northern Ireland, is moved to a location out of earshot of the prisoners; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeman
No. It would not be feasible to move the facilities, which are sited at Magilligan training centre, to another location.
