HC Deb 28 November 1961 vol 650 c30W
60. Mr. J. Wells

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will ask county councils to conduct a survey and census of caravan dwellers, with a view to ascertaining the position regarding employment, education and health of these people, and to estimate how many of them live in caravans by choice.

Mr. G. Rippon

A full investigation into the problems of caravan living was undertaken by Sir Arton Wilson, and the results were published in his report, Caravans as Homes, in November, 1959. My right hon. Friend does not think a further general survey is required now.
