§ 44. Mr. Gowerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what legislation he has in mind to meet the needs of those who, subject to proper safeguards, prefer caravans for permanent residence; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BevinsAs my right hon. Friend said in answer to my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Chertsey (Sir L. Heald) on 30th July last, he cannot hold out any early prospect of amending legislation. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of my right hon. Friend's statement.
§ Mr. GowerAs my hon. Friend has said that many local authorities take the view that caravans provide sub-standard accommodation, will he make it clear 190 that that is not the view of his Department, but that it takes the view that caravan accommodation is often superior to accommodation in private houses?
