HC Deb 22 December 1965 vol 722 cc461-2W
Mr. Lubbock

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will circularise local authorities in England and Wales asking them to make periodic returns to him of the number of site licences granted by them under the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act, 1960, for residential sites, and the maximum number of caravans allowed on all these sites in their area; and if, in the meanwhile, he will estimate the increase in the number of residential caravans in England and Vales since the census.

Mr. MacColl

As further information about the caravan population is likely to be available as a result of next year's sample census, my right hon. Friend does not think that the value of this information would justify the work involved.
