HC Deb 09 December 1959 vol 615 c53W
Dr. Bennett

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty what are his plans for the disposal of the former H.M.S. "Hornet" shore establishment at Gosport; and to what other Service Departments it has been offered.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

Our plans are to offer it for sale shortly to the best financial advantage. We have divided it into appropriate lots, and several concerns have already shown interest. We notified the other Service Departments that the property was redundant.
