HC Deb 13 July 1962 vol 662 cc173-4W
Mr. Coulson

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what estimate he has made of the contribution of suitably sited, controlled and serviced caravan sites to local housing problems; and if he will give financial and other encouragement to the provision and occupation of such sites.

Mr. Rippon

Many people have made their homes in caravans and much has been done in recent years to secure satisfactory living conditions on caravan sites. In addition to the model standards issued under the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act, 1960, the Ministry has recently published a book giving fuller guidance on this subject.

No financial assistance is contemplated for this purpose.
