The Ministry of Justice has been urged to outline plans for a new jail in north Wales after it emerged no offer has been made to buy an earmarked site.
Plans for a jail on the Dynamex Friction site on the outskirts of Caernarfon were unveiled in February.
But site owner Bluefield Land Caernarfon Ltd said it had not received an offer and would go ahead with its own plans if no progress was made.
The Ministry of Justice said it is completing its "governance process".
It is estimated that a new prison on the site of the former brake factory - which was originally called called Ferodo - will create 1,000 permanent jobs and be worth £17m a year to the local economy.
With so much money to be made out of prison building, no wonder we have too many prisoners and too many prisons...
