84. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware of the difficulties being experienced by local authorities in dealing immediately with cases of deliberate and continuing unauthorised use of land; and whether he will take steps to amend the existing legislation to enable local authorities to deal immediately with the unauthorised use and misuse of land.

Mr. MacColl

My right hon. Friend is aware of the difficulties facing local authorities and will consider what can be done as soon as the opportunity arises for legislation.
