Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress his Department has made on the disposal of Fort Blockhouse in Gosport.

The MOD continues to work closely with Gosport Borough Council and wider stakeholders to realise the full opportunities and constraints for this site locally. This has included extensive surveys into influencing factors such as heritage, flood risk, and habitats. Our focus, however, at present remains the critical repair works following the damage inflicted on the historic sea walls by Storm Ciaran.
