§ Mr. Soleyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the peace convoy and other similar groups with a nomadic habit of life have been included in the official estimates of the numbers of gipsies resorting to or residing in each county.
§ Mr. TraceyThe official estimates relate to the numbers of gipsy caravans and are provided twice-yearly by district and London borough councils. Caravans belonging to individuals whom the authorities accept as of the nomadic habit of life referred to in the Caravan Sites Act 1968 should normally be included. Groups such as the peace convoy would not normally be included.
