The question

To ask the Scottish Executive what valuation was received for the former HM Prison Penninghame prior to its first being offered for sale; what offers were received by the first deadline; why none of the offers received were accepted; what offers were received the second time the prison was offered for sale, and what the final sale price was.

I have asked Mr Tony Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) to respond. His response is as follows:The valuation was provided to SPS by the Valuation Office Agency on a confidential basis, as were the offers. The Scottish Executive does not publish valuation data. The sale price was £275,000 and was recorded with the title deeds in the Land Register.
