HC Deb 09 May 1968 vol 764 c744

Queen's Recommendation having been signified—

Resolved, That, for the purposes of any Act of the present Session to restrict the eviction from caravan sites of occupiers of caravans and make other provision for the benefit of such occupiers and to secure the establishment of such sites by local authorities for the use of gipsies and other persons of nomadic habit, and control in certain areas the unauthorised occupation of land by such persons, it is expedient to authorise the payment out of moneys provided by Parliament of any increase in the sums payable out of moneys so provided in respect of rate support grant under the Local Government Act 1966 which may arise in consequence of provisions of the said Act relating to the provision of caravan sites by local authorities in England and Wales.—[Mr. Skeffington.]
