HC Deb 06 December 1955 vol 547 cc30-1W
57. Mr. Moss

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will consider the introduction of legislation to govern the conditions on which caravan sites may be licensed by local authorities in England and Wales, with a view to ensuring reasonable security of tenure to good caravan tenants.

Mr. Sandys

I have no such legislation in mind.

61. Mr. Moss

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is prepared to publish the reports of the inspectors in regard to planning appeals against refusal of development in respect of caravan sites.

Mr. Sandys

I see no grounds for treating these cases differently from other planning appeals.

62. Mr. Moss

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what suggestions he has received from local authority associations or caravan associations with suggestions for amendments of the Public Health Act, 1936; and what was the nature of these suggestions.

Mr. Sandys

The local authority associations and certain camping and caravan clubs have at various times put forward proposals for amending the provisions of the Act, which relate to the powers of local authorities to control the use of moveable dwellings. It is not possible, within the compass of this reply, to give details of the various suggestions made.
