HC Deb 23 February 1979 vol 963 c377W
Mr. Stainton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied that he is fully aware of the wide economic and environmental importance of the HMS "Ganges" site; what steps he intends to take following the abortive sales efforts of the Property Services Agency; and if he will visit the site personally in order to facilitate a speedy and sensible solution.

Mr. Marks

The Property Services Agency is fully aware of the economic and environmental importance of the HMS "Ganges" sites. A sale depends to some extent on the future planning use determined by the Babergh district council and discussions are being re-opened to this end.

My right hon. Friend does not propose to visit the site.
