§ 36. Mr. Remnantasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he has completed his consultations with local authorities in regard to caravan sites; and what conclusions were arrived at.
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (Mr. J. Enoch Powell)Not yet.
§ Mr. RemnantWill my hon. Friend invite local authorities to suspend notices of closure, which may become operative while the discussions are continuing, until after the discussions have been concluded?
§ Mr. PowellLocal authorities will, no doubt, bear in mind that these discussions are taking place, but I do not think that any such general suggestion can be properly made.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonIs the hon. Member prepared for the steep rise in the demand for caravan sites which will inevitably follow the passing of the Rent Bill?
