HC Deb 07 February 1973 vol 850 cc104-5W
Mr. Milne

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many exceptions were granted to organisations in the Northern Region and throughout Great Britain under the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 during the period from January 1971 to December 1972; and what were the figures for the same areas from the inception of the Act to the latest possible date.

Mr. Graham Page

Exemptions under the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 have been granted in England to 12 organisations during 1971 and 1972 and to a total of 38 organisations since the commencement of the Act to date.

No organisation associated specifically with a particular region has so far been exempted.

The exemptions granted in Scotland and Wales are the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland and my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for Wales respectively.
