I am aware that the Brighton Corporation are negotiating to purchase Stanmer Park Estate from the trustees of the Chichester Estates, but not whether this purchase is to be completed by any particular date. The question of derequisitioning Stanmer Park is still under consideration. It may happen that the War Department will have a requirement for a small part of this estate, but any such proposal would have to be considered under present arrangements by the Inter-Departmental Committee on Service Land Requirements. When I have had an opportunity of examining the final results of the present investigations, my right hon. Friend will inform the hon. Member when he can see a deputation.
