§ Mr. Juddasked the Minister of State for Defence whether he will make arrangements to open to the public dockyard and other Ministry of Defence car parks in Portsmouth on Saturdays, Sundays and other public holidays to alleviate parking pressure in the centre of the city.
§ Mr. KirkFor security and other reasons, car parks within Defence establishments in Portsmouth cannot be made generally available to members of the public. Certain land west of Conway Street is scheduled for early development. We would be prepared to consider any application from the Portsmouth City Council for this site to be made available for weekendand bank holiday parking before development work commences.
