Presumably drug possession is no longer—

Is a serious conversation required with Government about HMP Glasgow?

Is there an optimum temperature that is required either by guidance or by law in the prisons?

Yes, I was just interested in whether that has been looked at, given the massive cost increase.

Does that include any additional compensation that may arise from the same matters?

Thank you. My other question is for the Crown Office and it is about the Rangers malicious prosecution scandal. Can you tell us how much the total bill now is for compensation?

It was reported in the media that the bill is now over £60 million. Is that incorrect?

It is worth noting that the committee has done well, particularly Pauline McNeill, who identified the issue during the visit, and pushed to raise it, as did Rona Mackay. It shows that simply by our asking questions and intervening, we can make a bit of a difference.

Towards the end the letter, the Wise Group talks about former prisoners who do not have a fixed address and cannot register with a general practitioner. What might be done about that? I am sure that there is no easy fix, but it is certainly a significant matter that probably requires a bit of attention.

It will therefore not impact on Crown budgets in any way.

Okay. Thank you.
