To ask the Scottish Executive how it reconciles the answer to question S1W-33992 by Mr Jim Wallace on 3 March 2003 with the answer to question S2W-16103 by Cathy Jamieson on 4 May 2005 in respect of the number of instances in which a serious assault has occurred in HM Prison Kilmarnock but no performance points have accrued to the prison operators and whether it will provide a revised answer to question S2W-16103.

I have asked Tony Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service to respond. His response is as follows:

The answer to S1W-33992 covered the period up to 3 March 2003. The answer to question S2W-16103 conveyed the fact that no instances have since occurred.
