§ Dr. SummerskillThese are matters for the owners of the land on which the gipsies camp, and not for the police.
§ Mr. William Clarkasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many gipsies have been prosecuted in the last year for parking caravans on playing fields.
§ Dr. SummerskillI regret that the information is not readily available.
