HC Deb 08 March 1928 vol 214 c1250W
Mr. HAYES

asked the Home Secretary whether he can give an estimate of the number of travelling gipsies in this country; and whether he will consider the advisability, or otherwise, of a system of registration and identity certificates?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I have no figures, and, as far as I know, no reliable estimate is possible. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
