The Prison Governors Association is expected today to say that plans to convert a disused Pontins holiday camp, near Morecambe into a temporary prison should be stopped because they are misguided.

Lanarkshire councillors rejected plans last night to house the prisoners in the former camp. They said it would hit the tourist industry.
