HC Deb 06 March 1973 vol 852 cc96-7W
Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many families in Great Britain permanently reside in caravans; and if he will list the provisions of the law relating to eviction by caravan site owners.

Mr. Eyre

No reliable figures will be available until the full 1971 census figures appear. On the basis of the 1966 sample census it has been estimated that some 170,000 people live in 73,000 caravans on residential sites. Part I of the Caravan Sites Act 1968 contains the security provisions on residential caravan sites.
