§ Mr. NelsonTwo meetings took place in April between the representatives of the leisure caravan industry and the Valuation Office agency. At the second meeting on 28 April, the representatives of the industry undertook to select representative sites to be considered in detail. It is expected that they will assemble financial and other information on the individual sites by mid-June to enable discussions to resume. If, as is hoped, a national agreement can be reached on the way in which the sites should be valued, valuation officers will take steps to implement any changes which are necessary.
