Gosport Borough Council and thousands of residents have protested at the closure plans and the minister is meeting council representatives during his visit to the town.
He will be pressed by the council to urge the government to think again about Haslar's future.
Mr Spellar has also agreed to be interviewed by local reporters, including the Daily Echo.
