§ Mr. StanleyWhere a residential mobile home owner has an agreement under the Mobile Homes Act 1975, it will specify the initial pitch rent payable, and provide for reviews at intervals of not less than one year. We intend to examine the case for and against further mobile homes legislation and decide, well before the end of 1983 when agreements under the 1975 Act begin to expire, whether fresh legislation is needed and, if so, what form it should take.
Charges made in connection with static holiday caravans are a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade.
