HC Deb 08 June 1972 vol 838 c136W
Mr. Judd

asked the Minister of State for Defence whether he will make a statement on the progress of negotiations between his Department and the Portsmouth City Council concerning the release of land and premises at the Milldam Barracks site for the essential building developments of Portsmouth Polytechnic.

Mr. G. Johnson Smith

It is not yet possible to dispose of any part of Milldam Barracks. However, to assist the Portsmouth Corporation in its plans for the Polytechnic, it was told on 5th June that the Ministry of Defence would be willing to grant the corporation an annual tenancy of one of the barrack blocks, two of the smaller buildings and a parking area.
