To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answers to questions S2W-15607 by Colin Boyd QC on 18 April 2005 and S2W-16102 by Cathy Jamieson on 4 May 2005, whether the alleged falsification of watch logs constitutes a failure to comply with agreed reporting procedures at HM Prison Kilmarnock incurring performance points under Schedule F to the Minute of Agreement between the Secretary of State for Scotland and Kilmarnock Prison Services Limited for the Design, Construction, Management and Financing of a Prison at Kilmarnock .

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

No. HM Prison Kilmarnock adhered to the agreed reporting procedures and notified SPS as soon as they became aware of the alleged incident.
