MP
for the Gosport constituency, Peter Viggers, has written to
the Defence Minister, Geoff Hoon, to request permission to
visit the HMS Daedalus site as a matter of urgency.
Peter
said, "We have been told that the proposal to introduce
a centre for asylum seekers at Daedalus is still under discussion,
and I want to confirm for myself that no work has yet begun
towards this end. A number of rumours are circulating within
the local area, suggesting that steps are already in progress
towards the development of the centre on the Daedalus site.
I sincerely hope that these rumours are unfounded and that
no such moves have begun, as this would be totally unacceptable
prior to any formal decision being taken about the site's
future. I have written to the Minister, seeking permission
to see the situation there personally and hope that my request
will be granted."
