HC Deb 01 June 1961 vol 641 cc40-2W
Mr. Hendry

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in order to encourage holiday caravanning in the Highlands, he will exercise his power to relax in that area certain of the requirements of the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act.

Mr. Maclay

As contemplated when the Bill was before the House, and after consulting the county councils concerned, I have made an Order extending the statutory exemptions from control in this area. This Order, published today, provides that in the counties of Argyll, Caithness, Inverness, Ross and Cromarty, Sutherland, Orkney and Zetland, on any holding of two acres or more, up to three caravans at any one time may be accommodated without a site licence and without planning permission during the period 1st April to 30th September in any year.
