§ Mr. RobathanTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister what plans he has to introduce further legislation to assist parish councils and other landowners whose land is illegally occupied by travellers. [99780]
§ Mr. McNultyThere are no current plans to introduce further legislation to assist parish councils and other landowners whose land is illegally occupied by travellers.
Parish councils and other landowners are able to go through the civil courts for the recovery of their land under Orders 24 and 113. Parish councils can also liaise with their county council regarding the possibility of serving a Section 77 Direction under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994.
