§ Sir W. Darlingasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the present caravan population of the country.
Mr. McNeilI regret that this information is not available. As a by-product of the recent Census, it is probable that when the returns have been more fully examined some information will be available indicating the extent to which people were living in substitute accommodation, such as huts and caravans, at the time of the Census.
§ Sir W. Darlingasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what information he has as to the number of local authorities which have established planned caravan sites with all amenities; and if it is his 170W intention to recommend a maximum density per acre.
Mr. McNeilLocal authorities do not require my approval to establish camping or caravan sites, and I have no information as to the number which may have done so. It is not my intention to issue any recommendation to local authorities on the subject of maximum density of caravans per acre.
